It is interesting that this approachfollows how new (and often expensive) technologies have been implemented in the past inhigher education. Some may remember when even electronic calculators were housed indedicated “computing laboratories.”It is general practice to implement visualization technologies in a centralized and dedicated“center,” a facility separated physically, intellectually, and pedagogically from academicenterprises that might use it best.

. These include: 1) The quality of the problems given to the students has increased significantly, thus enhancing the learning experience. Companies are no longer providing projects that are “busy work” type problems, but are now providing real problems to which they expect real solutions. 2) The almost $1 million derived from these projects has funded space and equipment for the senior design students and pass-down equipment for the department. During the last three years, the department has been able to invest more than $130,000 in the capstone design facility. Much of this has gone to new technology. One-third of the computers in the capstone design laboratory are replaced every 6 months. The replaced units are moved to
