Laser Cutter and Software Training and Tutorials
The computer lab staff offers personalized software training to small groups who would like to learn a new software or acquire certain skills for upcoming assignments. While our staff is not trained in all the softwares available through the school, we often have power users of popular programs, such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and Rhino. A minimum of 5 students is needed to set up a training session. Advanced notice is needed to coordinate the type and time for training.
We also offer training to use the laser cutters. You must attend a Laser Cutter Training Session in order to use the laser cutters.
If you are interested in setting up a personalized software training session with one of our staff, please email

Help at the Desk
Our staff is always available to help, but the software competencies of individual staff members varies based on academic interests. While we can offer quick one on one help at the desk, our primary responsibilities while on duty may prevent us from giving you in depth individual help. Software websites often have discussion boards and guides for training and troubleshooting. Many independent websites and Youtube videos also offer instruction. Google on!
