| Computer Science Laboratory Facilities |
 | Located in Building 48, Rooms 305-311, and Building 47, Room 102, for which the purpose is to support all Computer Science courses. They serve as classrooms for applications courses and for all programming classes. Room 48-305 also serves as an "Open Lab" facility for all Computer Science courses. In addition, word processing and a variety of other application software is available to all Computer Science and Engineering Technology students.
These labs house several different systems, including Windows XP-based microcomputers and Sun Solaris Unix system access. The computers support courses such as Computer Applications, Electronic Spreadsheet, and Database Management via Office XP software, programming languages/environments such as BASIC, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#, Java, SQL, Delphi, Access VBA, and COBOL, and Web development tools such as Dreamweaver and FrontPage. The Microsoft .NET platform is used to support several of the application development courses. |
The department also offers coursework in several high-demand skill-sets, such as AutoCAD, networking (Microsoft and Novell), A+, Security+, etc. The support for CAD courses is made possible through the use of AutoCAD 2006, the latest industry standard. Specialized equipment includes routers, switches, simulators, wireless networking technologies, hands-on computer hardware, as well as computer systems incorporating multiple operating system environments such as Windows 98/2000/XP/Server 2003. The Unix system uses the latest release of Sun Solaris, which can be found in use by many organizations worldwide. This system supports courses including Unix Operating System, and various programming courses.
| Engineering Technology Laboratory Facilities |
 | Located in Building 48, Rooms 101-103, and Building 49, Rooms 105 & 107, for which the purpose is to support all Engineering Technology courses. They serve as classrooms for Biomedical, Computer, Electronics, and Telecommunications Engineering Technology programs. Rooms 48-101 and 49-107 serve as an "Open Lab" facility for all Engineering Technology courses. These labs are used to introduce students to monitoring data from basic electrical circuits. Digital multimeters, digital oscilloscopes, signal generators, function generators, etc., are used in conjunction with passive electrical devices. Workbenches are used to incorporate the various testing equipment, computer systems, trainers, and power supplies for all student experiments.
All stations in the laboratory are equipped with a computer workstation running Windows XP with Multisim, which is used to simulate and test electronic circuitry prior to the implemetion of student projects. These systems also have access to Internet resources and laser quality printing.

Additionally, workbenches are configured to aid in the study of microprocessors and integrated circuit systems. Specialized equipment includes the integration of the computer workstation with single board microprocessor systems, and a cross-assembler for use in program development. Labs also provides practical learning experiences in the telecommunications field, such as filters, transmission lines, transmitters and receivers, microwave devices, fiber optics, and various networking technologies. The labs are equipped with equipment such as R-F voltmeters, frequency counters, spectrum analyzers, microwave UHF hardware, Q-meters, communications analyzers, and network analyzers and simulators.
Labs are also configured to support students enrolled in the Biomedical Engineering Technology degree program. Students work with various biomedical technology, such as the latest in Bedside Monitoring equipment. Biomedical engineering technicians install, calibrate, maintain and repair biomedical equipment and instruments that are used in hospitals, physicians offices, medical laboratories and emergency vehicles. Technicians are also directly involved in training physicians, nurses
