A revised bioengineering curriculum has been adopted that emphasizes the integration of introductory science with early engineering studies. An essential component of this curriculum is that each semester includes a laboratory course that will serve to integrate all aspects of the program. The "workstation library" includes the necessary computational, data acquisition and data handling infrastructure needed to make operation of the new curriculum and laboratories feasible. It includes hardware, in the form of 20 Unix-based workstations integrated with the laboratory, the server that networks the workstations, and software for mathematical manipulation, simulation, and symbolic manipulation, as well as report preparation and presentation. The workstation network is accessible through the existing university computer network, allowing off-site access to the workstations. Laboratory instruments will also be accessed through the workstation network. The aim is to make the laboratory as essential and important a component of each student's learning and educational experience as are other information sources such as libraries and texts.

采用了修订后的生物工程课程，强调入门科学与早期工程研究的结合。该课程的一个重要组成部分是每个学期都包括一门实验室课程，该课程将有助于整合该计划的各个方面。 “工作站库”包括使新课程和实验室运行可行所需的计算、数据采集和数据处理基础设施。 它包括与实验室集成的 20 个基于 Unix 的工作站的硬件、将工作站联网的服务器以及用于数学运算、模拟和符号运算以及报告准备和演示的软件。工作站网络可通过现有的大学计算机网络访问，允许对工作站进行异地访问。实验室仪器也将通过工作站网络进行访问。其目的是使实验室像图书馆和文本等其他信息来源一样，成为每个学生学习和教育经历的重要组成部分。
