BioEngineering Design and Multimedia Laboratories

The Design and Multimedia Laboratories were created to offer clients the vital support for top-notch marketing and presentation.

Small interdisciplinary student teams use the advanced equipment in the Design laboratory to work together and solve our clients' real-analysis and prototyping problems. With a cluster of ten flexible workstations, students develop the paperless designs that have been analytically dissected, evaluated and reevaluated on the laboratory's software.

Then the Multimedia lab allows students to prepare and present professional-level presentations and demonstrations of their findings, using a multitude of in-house media delivery systems. Our state-of-the-art equipment includes tools from video editing and slide generation, to poster creation and computer graphics development.
