EPDC Computer Lab

The Engineering Project Development Center (EPDC) is a computer cluster and collaborative space in Anderson Hall that supports the undergraduate engineering curriculum.

In the collaboration area students can work in their project groups or individually to brainstorm and develop their ideas. After ﬁnalizing their design plans, they move to the computational side, where a number of industry standard software packages are at their disposal.

The use of statistical, CAD and modelling software in engineering is ubiquitous and it is important that students are able to develop intuitive, practical skills through exposure to the most common applications in their fields.
