252 Engineering Terrace Classroom

Facilities > Labs > 252 Engineering Terrace Classroom

Located adjacent to the CUIT Engineering Terrace Computer Labs, 252 Engineering Terrace is a hands-on electronic classroom seating 18 students. All instructor equipment is enclosed in a rolling wood cabinet, providing limited flexibility in how the equipment is positioned. The classroom doubles as a computer lab when classes are not scheduled for the room.




The equipment available to the instructor includes a ceiling-mounted Eiki Data projector which can accept RGB and video inputs. Video is displayed on a screen at the front of the room. The podium contains the various electronic resources available to the instructor. These include a Dell Optiplex GX 270, a VCR, and a DVD player (that doubles as a CD player). The Dell has a built-in CD-ROM drive and an Ethernet network connection for digital presentations.

A room customized touchpanel controls the multimedia experience including the audio visual equipment and the physical room environment (program volume).
