Western New England is home to an innovation lab in the 3rd floor of the engineering building SliethSleith. In this space students can develop and prototype anything. The lab is fully equiped with everything a laser cutter, three 3D printer and hands tools for prototyping.&nbsp; === Western Mass Innovation Jam (WMIJ) === <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-661bb31c-af97-14f6-dbc8-f9e09fb3e78b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Each fall, Western New England University participates in a Western Mass Innovation Jam, a 72-hour learning-by-doing campus workshop that teaches entrepreneurial skills to students in a hands-on environment.

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: largersmall;">Recently, Western New England University has bought several 3D printers for the mechanical engineering lab, and the freshman innovation lab. These printers are used to expose new students to the new technology that is being developed at an exponential rate. Students are also able to use them to print parts that they design in SolidWorks for their freshman design projects, and senior design projects.</span></span>
