A Multidisciplinary Graphics Design Laboratory

拟议的多学科图形设计实验室 （MGDL）提供基于终端的交互式教学， 五个学术部门的课程：工业，电气， 机械，生物医学和工程核心。 该设施 包括10个高分辨率工作站和25个 中分辨率终端，与数字设备联网 公司，VAX 4000中央计算机，其配套 磁盘存储器和互连外围设备。应用 为MGDL选择的软件提供高级分析， 设计和图形可视化能力，并具有 对上层影响最大，设计课程教学， 以及特别高级研究/设计计划。 MGDL的 能力也被用来协助高中教师， 提高他们的技术技能和知识的现代 工程实验室和教育方法。

The proposed multidisciplinary graphics design laboratory (MGDL), provides terminal-based, interactive instruction in courses of five academic departments: Industrial, Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical and Engineering Core. The facility includes ten high-resolution workstations, and twenty-five medium-resolution terminals, networked to a Digital Equipment Corporation, VAX 4000 central computer, with its supporting disc memory and interconnect peripherals. The applications software chosen for the MGDL provides advanced analysis, design, and graphic visualization capability and has the greatest impact on the upper level, design course instruction, and on the special senior research/design program. The MGDL's capabilities are also used to assist high school teachers in upgrading their technical skills and knowledge of modern engineering laboratories and educational methods.
