This lab is used for several courses in the College of Innovation and Technology, particularly for big data analytics and cloud virtualization concentrations, and in the College of Engineering's required "Design I" course. The Student Data Center side allows students to have hands-on experiences with their own virtual computing server. This lab has expanded our technology partnerships for education, research and career development in the state of Florida through high-speed computing, information mapping, academic initiative computing and big data user cases. · Cyber Gaming and Digital Media Lab: This lab consists of technologies and techniques in all areas of digital media used for online content and application development including social media, mass media, gaming and simulation. The lab spans several areas of media technology and integrates with the Supercomputer and the Visualization and Technology Collaboration (VTC) Robotics Lab in the areas of robotics, voice recognition, wearable computing and other related topics. · Visualization and Technology Collaboration (VTC) Robotics Lab: The VTC Robotics Lab is composed of two facilities that employ advanced media and digital imaging software systems, fixed and mobile displays, multi-projection systems, scalable visualization and virtual reality to explore topics like information mapping, data digestion, robotics, creative visualization and user interface technologies. Students and faculty in the lab are studying robotics in the areas of engineering and information technology and exploring the theory behind automation and remote device management. The purpose of the lab is to facilitate collaboration among faculty, students and industry partners to deliver more engaging and impactful applications of advanced robotics hardware and software.· Cyber Security Lab: The Cyber Security Lab is a sequestered network environment that comprises servers, transport facilities and end-user workstations to replicate and simulate real-world cyber security threats and hacker techniques. The intent is to teach the theory behind complex cyber hacks, develop an understanding of the technology and vulnerabilities across the information technology systems landscape. We then consider counter-measures and incident response tactics across platforms and applications. Current students, prospective students and visitors to these innovation labs and the Florida Polytechnic University campus are excited and inspired by the ultra-modern technology and infrastructure we have developed and the learning and research possibilities we are able to provide. With a technology framework built to scale and evolve continuously into the future, the next phases of technology development at Florida Poly are going to be just as exciting as this first phase, if not more so. The goal is to graduate students who enter the workforce job ready and go on to become leaders and entrepreneurs in high tech industries
