MoreContains grants, contracts, research proposals, publications, reprints, bulletins, reports, correspondence, and a series of handwritten notebooks pertaining to a departmental investigation or self study, the Engineering Experiment Station, as well as research projects including minerals research, diesel engineering, and artificial intelligence. These files also relate to the College's sponsors of research, including the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, North Carolina Department of Transportation, and the National Science Foundation. The Analytical Instrumentation Facility (AIF) at NC State is the primary research facility for materials characterization on campus. The roots of AIF are in the Engineering Experiment Station, established at NC State in 1923. The Experiment Station became the Engineering Research Department in 1945, and that unit became the Engineering Research Division in 1971. The Engineering Research Division informally became known as the Analytical Instrumentation Facility during the 1981-1982 fiscal year. That designation had become official by the 1990s.
