Equipment and Materials
Instructional Media Services provides equipment
and educational media for regularly scheduled classes and special
events.
Over 90% of classrooms and teaching spaces at both campuses are permanently equipped with LCD video projectors, VHS decks, and computers with DVD playback capability. All classrooms and teaching spaces are permanently equipped with a pull-down or motorized screen as well as an overhead (transparency) projector.
