Academic Equipment

Academic equipment is all the specialized equipment in your labs and classroom. This includes electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electronic, and specialty items ranging from industrial machines (e.g. automotive lifts, plastic injection machines, mills, lathes) to commercial assets (e.g. hospital beds, dental chairs, vehicles) to educational trainers (e.g. medical manikins, simulators). We possess the technical skills required to assist with installing new equipment, trouble-shooting, repairing, and maintaining existing equipment.
