A Multidisciplinary Graphics Design Laboratory

拟议的多学科图形设计实验室(MGDL)，在工业、电气、机械、生物医学和工程核心五个学术系的课程中提供基于终端的互动教学。该设施包括10个高分辨率工作站和25个中分辨率终端，它们与数字设备公司的VAX 4000中央计算机联网，并带有支持的磁盘存储器和互连的外围设备。为MGDL选择的应用软件提供高级分析、设计和图形可视化能力，并对上层、设计课程指导和特殊的高级研究/设计计划产生最大影响。MGDL的能力还被用来帮助高中教师提高他们的技术技能以及现代工程实验室和教育方法的知识。

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.
