Tech Facilities, Equipment & Other Lab Resources

Department Overview

The Department of Computer Science and Mathematics provides students with access to modern instructional laboratories, advanced research facilities, enterprise software platforms, cybersecurity infrastructure, and emerging technology resources. These facilities support experiential learning, interdisciplinary research, and industry-aligned training across Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Engineering-related disciplines. The Department is committed to providing students with hands-on learning opportunities that combine theoretical knowledge with practical application through laboratory exercises, research experiences, virtualization environments, digital forensics platforms, and technology-enhanced classrooms.

Instructional Computing Facilities

The Department maintains two instructional laboratories equipped with modern Lenovo workstations powered by Intel Core i7-14700T processors, 32 GB RAM, and Windows 11 Enterprise. These facilities support software development, cybersecurity education, data analytics, engineering applications, artificial intelligence, and research computing activities.

Instructional Computing Laboratories (B302 & B304)

Laboratories B302 and B304 serve as dedicated instructional computing laboratories supporting coursework in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and related disciplines. Both laboratories are equipped with advanced instructional technologies designed to support hands-on learning, software development, laboratory exercises, and collaborative projects. Each laboratory includes two 80-inch display systems, a centrally located Smart TV presentation system, digital document cameras, multimedia instructional support, and collaborative learning technologies. B304 additionally provides Zoom-enabled instructional technology supporting remote instruction, lecture recording, virtual guest speakers, distance learning, and hybrid instructional delivery.

Virtualization and Infrastructure Resources

The Department provides enterprise virtualization resources supporting networking laboratories, operating systems instruction, cybersecurity exercises, cloud computing environments, server administration, software development, and infrastructure management. These environments allow students to gain practical experience working within realistic enterprise computing scenarios.

NDG NETLAB+ Cybersecurity and Networking Curriculum

The Department leverages Network Development Group (NDG) NETLAB+ resources to provide students with hands-on, remotely accessible laboratory experiences in cybersecurity, networking, ethical hacking, digital forensics, Linux administration, cloud security, infrastructure automation, firewall administration, and security operations. NETLAB+ environments complement existing VMware-based instructional resources and support industry certification preparation. Several undergraduate courses require students to obtain hands-on experience through specific industry certification laboratory exercise.
