Labs and Facilities
TinkerLab The Tinker Lab is a learning, hands-on environment that welcomes all students and faculty. Equipped with computers, laser etchers, and 3D printers, the Tinker Lab is a multifaceted environment to help encourage and develop the innovation mindset within each individual. Led by graduate students and the iScholars (innovation scholars), the Tinker Lab was created through the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) grant Sridhar Condoor received. KEEN is a collaboration of 19 universities around the U.S. that strive to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering students. KEEN鈥檚 mission is to 鈥済raduate engineers who will contribute to business success, and in doing so, transform the American workforce.鈥�

Community Work and Service
Condoor is a KEEN fellow, a Coleman Fellow, and the editor of the Journal of Engineering
Entrepreneurship.
He is the Principal Investigator for the KEEN Entrepreneurship Program Development
Grants to foster the spirit of innovation in all engineering students.
VayuWind, a hubless wind turbine for urban environments, is one of his inventions.
VayuWind deploys airfoils parallel to the rotational axis in such a way that, unlike
other windmills, it rotates around a ring frame, leaving the central portion open
for other uses. This enables VayuWind to extract wind power using existing structures
such as commercial buildings and skywalks with minimal noise pollution.
