Room 708 is a small lab space shared between the student Formula SAE team and the Cooper Satellite Launch Initiative (a CubeSat team). Previously, this room was used solely for Formula SAE design hosting a driving simulator, which is still located in the space. . The CubeSat team is currently developing a satellite to test the efficacy of e-Ink as a thermal regulation mechanism in space. To support this effort, the lab includes instrumentation for a space-environment simulator (in development), including a vacuum chamber, solar simulator, and temperature instrumentation. Additionally, the space houses equipment for satellite communications, including software-based radio equipment and a large antenna.

The lab has a separate space (708A) that houses three multiprocessor workstations used for biomedical engineering simulation. This small space is important for Professor Wootton’s respiratory biomechanics research projects, because it is an access-controlled space but approved students can work on their simulations on their own schedules without the need for a lab supervisor.
