Labs and Resources

Analytical Organic Chemistry Lab

Here, students will apply advanced spectroscopy, chemical fractionation and computed analyses to extend organic synthesis work that is part of their two-semester series in organic chemistry. They will also be able to analyze compounds elicited from screens for novel antibiotics in collaborating courses. This lab is located in the Zollner Engineering Center Room Z212.

Biomedical Lab

Located in the Zollner Engineering Center Room Z014, students will learn anatomy with an array of hands-on contemporary teaching tools, including cadavers. Students will also use this lab for developing and validating medical device designs and for the creation of their senior capstone projects.

Biology and Ecology Lab

Snyder Academic Center Rooms 169 and 175 connect to create a rare set of laboratory spaces designed intentionally for student success through active learning. These Technology-Enabled Active Learning Laboratory (TEALL) spaces surpass modern education by placing students into grouped engagement and hands-on work. Whether in lecture or lab, students immerse themselves into future careers, surrounded by equipment and models, computers and artifacts.

Exercise and Sport Performance Lab

Located in the Zollner Engineering Center Room Z254, this lab is used for student education and student-faculty research. Students have the opportunity to learn exercise physiology procedures and assessments, including anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility assessment, metabolic rate, power assessment and strength assessment.

Forensic Science Lab

In this lab, located in the Keene Building Room K253, students learn with the same up-to-date technology and tools that forensic data analysts are using the contemporary laboratories around the world. It introduces students to molecular biology DNA laboratory techniques used in the study, detection and manipulation of genetic material in science and technology. Those techniques include detecting cancer-causing mutations, identifying pathogens and forensic DNA analysis.

General Chemistry Lab

In this general chemistry lab, students perform various hands-on experiments, including taking measurements with Vernier probes, to help reinforce what they learn in in a variety of chemistry courses. Located in the Zollner Engineering Center Room Z214.

Health Sciences Lab

Located in the Zollner Engineering Center Room Z130, this space helps students reinforce what they learn in in a variety of life sciences courses, including Human Health and Disease, Human Genetics and General Anatomy and Physiology courses. These experiences help our students prepare for diverse careers in health care fields.

Physics Lab

Located in the Zollner Engineering Center Room Z152, students perform various experiments and test physical principles that help reinforce what they learn in in a variety of physics courses. They will explore the fundamental aspects of mechanics including kinematics, Newton’s Laws, work and energy, rotational motion, simple harmonic motion and wave motion, as well as electromagnetic concepts.

Smaardyk Center Multimedia Studio

Located in the Cunningham Business Center Room 205, this studio features a control room, multiple cameras and sources (overhead podium camera, laptop screens and DVD/Blu Ray). There is a green screen that allows producers to digitally input still or video images into the background. The studio can be used to conduct interviews, live broadcasts, television programs and class videos.

Snyder Academic Center Computer Lab

This computer lab is used for student education related to Adobe Creative Suite programs, which include Photoshop, Premiere, Animate, After Effects, Illustrator and InDesign. Students have 24/7 access to this lab, located in Snyder Academic Center Room S210.

Virtual Reality Communication Lab

Located in the McMillen Library, the Virtual Reality Communication Lab was created to help students enhance their presentation skills for various public events and become more refined and articulate speakers.

Writing Center

Located in the McMillen Library, the Writing Center is a place where undergraduate and graduate students on our Fort Wayne campus can get free support and feedback on writing and presentation assignments. Adult and online students can get free writing assistance from Tutor.com.
