Materials, Information Technology, Biotechnology, Scientific Computation,
Environmental Studies, and Microelectronics. State-of-the-art distributive
computer network and Centers for Microelectronics Fabrication and Materials
Characterization and Preparation are integral parts of the panoramic campus
lying by the shore of Port Shelter Bay. Assistance for research start up is
