Labs and Facilities

The Computer Science Department has been housed in a 70,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Computer Science and Technology Building since Fall 2017, featuring a variety of technology-rich classrooms and labs.

Several labs are equipped with software supporting advanced, upper-level course work. Several labs are also equipped with a Symposium system which controls a projector and all student stations. The student stations are low profile computers which can be operated independently by the students or can be taken over by the instructor’s Symposium. General purpose classrooms/labs are available to all relevant classes of our department. Fayard Hall:

This state-of-the-art computer assisted classroom, Computer Enhanced Classroom (CEC), has been enthusiastically endorsed by the students and faculty members who have used and who are excited about the possibilities it presents.

A robotics lab is also housed in Fayard Hall. The lab will support underwater data collection projects, limbed robotics, learning among individuals and groups of robots. The underwater robotics research project in the Computer Science Department at Southeastern is designed to serve as a platform for basic and applied research in intelligent robotics, as a hands-on learning environment for undergraduate and graduate students in CS and IT programs, as well as for community outreach involving local schools. The project personnel include Dr. Ho-Hoon Lee and Dr. Patrick McDowell. Some of the robotics research problems under study include design and development of a low-cost prototype autonomous underwater vehicle-manipulator system and its intelligent and energy efficient path planning and control using non-model based techniques. Anticipated applications for the project include environmental monitoring of local aquatic environments, use for monitoring levees and flood control projects, and so on.
