During fiscal year 2010, Woodward began construction of a new forty-eight thousand square foot system test facility in Rockford, Illinois. In the first half of fiscal year 2012, Woodward placed into service assets totaling $16,738 associated with the new system test facility, the majority of which is included in "Buildings and improvements." As of March 31, 2012, $5,247 of assets related to the system test facility remained as construction in progress and are expected to be placed into service by the end of fiscal year 2012. The facility, which houses numerous environmental system test cells and a vibration lab, will support, among other development projects, Woodward's Aerospace segment development efforts of next generation fuel systems for aircraft turbines. The increase in "Computer equipment and software" of $16,166 was primarily related to assets that were placed into service during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 associated with a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system for a group within Woodward's Aerospace segment. For the three and six-months ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, Woodward had capitalized interest that would have otherwise been included in interest expense as follows:
