The Kudlick High-tech Interactive Classroom

The newest addition to the Computer Science department's resources, the Kudlick interactive classroom is equipped with, among other things,
  • two plasma screens
  • an electronic whiteboard
  • individual presentation screens and workstations for students
  • a camera that can project physical objects on the screens
  • VCR and DVD capabilities
