Research
Facilities
ISU has many
facilities
that are available for educational and research use. These
include
the Idaho Accelerator
Center in the Physics Department and a Nuclear Science research
laboratory
in the College of Engineering.
The Idaho National Engineering and
Environmental
Laboratory offers even more research opportunities. The
following
is a partial list of some of the research and educational equipment on
campus.
