equipment for multimedia-related classes. Software for advanced courses and research in
database, network simulation, symbolic computation, neural networks, continuous and
discrete simulation, artificial intelligence and computer graphics can be readily accessed from
our servers. Wireless access to the Internet is in place within the Maes Building
