The institue is pruchasing two computer controlled telescopes, computer control upgrades, three CCD cameras, and four computers to run the telescopes, collect and process CCD images, and upgrade existing telescopes. This equipment provides students with the opportunity to use modern equipment for astronomical observations. The equipment is being used for an astronomy class and student-directed research involving variable star observations. A goal of this project is to encourage engineering and science students to continue working in astronomy after graduation as well trained amateurs.

该研究所正在采购两台计算机控制望远镜、计算机控制升级、三台 CCD 相机和四台计算机来运行望远镜、收集和处理 CCD 图像以及升级现有望远镜。 该设备为学生提供了使用现代设备进行天文观测的机会。 该设备用于天文学课和学生主导的涉及变星观测的研究。 该项目的目标是鼓励工程和科学学生毕业后继续从事天文学工作，就像训练有素的业余爱好者一样。
