The college maintains a variety of laboratories to support its educational programs. The college has recognized the need to upgrade the quality of some of its labs. When the Joe C. Davis Science and Technology Building opens in spring 2001, new laboratory facilities will be available for many programs. Old equipment is replaced as needed. Lab supplies are purchased using recurring budget funds.
Instructors are individually responsible for the acquisition of their own lab supplies.
A lab assistant would be of help in maintaining the lab facilities, particularly with the opening of the new Science and Technology Building. The biology lab will relocate to the new Davis Building. The EET program is accredited by TAC of ABET, and the EET lab meets accreditation criteria. Although the college offers the MET option, due to inadequate funding, there is no adequate MET lab. Currently, there are two open-access labs equipped with a variety of instructional software and Internet access.
