The Turbomachinery Laboratory, part of The Texas A&M System, conducts theoretical and applied research intro reliability and performance of turbomachinery. The Turbo Lab impacts the industry through three pathways: 1) Research: The Turbomachinery Research Consortium was formed in 1983 to find answers to important questions of reliability and performance of turbomachinery for industrial companies who supply annual research grants. 2) Education: The Turbo Lab produces engineers ready to work by offering undergraduate and graduate engineering education. 3) Professional Workforce Development: The Turbo Lab organizes the annual Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia in Houston and the biennial Asia Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium in Malaysia.
