Laboratories
To support attainment of the different program educational objectives and student outcomes, PEOs
and SOs, the different programs are supported with offices, classrooms, laboratory rooms and other
learning facilities and environment that would reinforce effective and efficient delivery of courses.
Office
Each program is provided with a department office which houses the administrative office for the
chairperson and a faculty room. The department office is equipped with computer terminals,
internet facility, printer, and presentation equipment available for faculty member and staff. It has
also a small conference room for department meetings. Each faculty member is provided with
personal carrel, mobile pedestal drawer and steel locker. All of these facilities are made available
to ensure that faculty members can prepare well for their respective courses and secure relevant

them perform their respective functions.
Classrooms
A typical classroom used for lecture courses can accommodate 40 students and has an average
area of 42 m2. Each room is built with white board and equipped with multi-media projector for
effective delivery of courses. Air conditioning units are installed to provide comfortable
atmosphere especially during summer. Internet may also be access in the rooms via wi-fi. Audio
equipment and laptop are available at the department whenever an instructor would need one in
the delivery of lecture or class activity. These classrooms are located at the Ozanam (OZ), St.
Therese (ST), Cardinal Santos (CS), JP, and Francis Regis Clet (FRC) buildings.
Laboratories
( you may off to start here instead, since our area is laboratory, and use this as introductory
statement )
To support attainment of the different program educational objectives and student outcomes, PEOs
and SOs, the different programs are supported with laboratory rooms and other learning facilities
and environment that would reinforce effective and efficient delivery of courses particularly for
laboratory and skills-oriented course.
The different programs have adequate laboratory facilities in training students of the program to

10. Ergonomics Laboratory
This laboratory is designed to improve the physical interaction between workers, their
work, and the work environment through the study of the musculoskeletal system's
response to work activities. In so doing our focus continues to be the study of body's
biomechanical response to a variety of occupational tasks, potential workplace
interventions, and the development of models predictive of back injury development and
recovery. This is achieved through the measurement of body movements, joint loads, and
muscle recruitment patterns as different types of activities are performed. While much of
the work relates to furthering our understanding of how to better optimize the interface
between people and their work environments, the same measurement capabilities and
techniques are applicable to addressing sports biomechanics research questions. There are
measuring devices for lighting, noise levels, temperature, anthropometry, strength, reach and
fit. There is various hand tools used for the Ergonomic exercises related to hand tool evaluation.
There is handling equipment used for Manual Material Handling Exercises. Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) are stored which are used for demonstration for Ergonomics and Occupational
Health and Safety classes. Working tables are provided for a maximum of eight teams with
four to five members each, as the students conduct exercises. This room is also equipped with
audio-visual devices for presentations and other discussion. It is located at room OZ312 third
floor of Ozanam Building.

B. Computing Resources
Adamson University has invested significantly in the upgrading of its system resources to support
better teaching and learning activities.
Facilities
The university has 982 units of computer distributed in 23 computer laboratories. In addition, there
are 123 terminals in three specialized laboratory dedicated to computer application courses of
engineering. Generally, courses are delivered on one computer for every student basis. Mechanical
engineering students used these facilities in courses: CAD, Computer Programming Fundamentals
and Computer Application for ME. Those in the 2013 curriculum will utilize one of these facilities
in Linear Algebra for ME.
For student research related activities, there are dedicated computer units in the library available
for students.
Network Infrastructure
AdU designed and developed its own campus network architecture to enable it to become a fully
connected campus and attain integration utilizing the most reliable technologies. The campus-wide
local area network (LAN) utilize 10GBRing Topology fiber optic media for backbone connection,
and wired and wireless connection to the terminals which enables access to computing service
across campus. AdU utilize a total of 110Mbps bandwidth of internet access.
For wireless internet connectivity within the campus, AdU provides Wi-Fi hotspot access in
several strategic locations, such as Library LM Building (Whole building), Law Library, Graduate
School Library, Students area such as (ST quadrangle, CS walkway, BA Botanical Garden, SV
ground study area). Students/Employee can access the internet by using AdU WEB Portal
authentication wherein students/employees can login using their accounts. The Wi-Fi bandwidth
allocated for the students is 30Mbps-35Mbps.
License Software
In support to the teaching and learning process for faculty and students, the university provides
latest applications and operating systems for the requirement of specific courses per program. The
software and programs in Table 6.2 are available to and may be used by faculty and students their
respective courses and upon request.

the enrollment process on the collegiate level of the University to become faster and more
efficient.
Learning Management System (LMS) – also known as the E-Learning System, this system
provides access to online enrollment which includes the viewing of grades and assessment.
Faculty members also use this system to post announcement and lectures.

C. Laboratory Guidance and Supervision
The laboratory head is responsible for the formulation and implementation of laboratory
guidelines and policies in conformity with the academic requirements of the courses. The
laboratory technician is responsible for the operation, repair and maintenance inside the
laboratory. Also, technician assists the faculty member in the hands-on operation of
specific tools and equipment during the class. Faculty members are in charge of providing
and discussing the students the orientation, general safety rules and policies of the
laboratory during its first meeting. Print-outs of the general safety rules are also posted in
each laboratory room to serve as a constant reminder.
Safety inspection is done regularly by laboratory head, laboratory coordinators, technicians
and student assistants. Any threat to safety is reported to the laboratory head and
coordinators for proper and immediate action.
D. Maintenance and Upgrading of Facilities
To ensure that all equipment and tools are properly maintain and upgraded, Laboratory
personnel ensures that old parts or the whole equipment is being replaced when the
expected lifetime is reached or the performance of the equipment is not enough to cater the
requirements of the user. For a desktop computer, it is upgraded or replaced from 3-5 years.
Obsolete equipment is replaced by new ones that are aligned with the industry standards.
Every laboratory equipment and tools being borrowed by the students is logged in
borrower’s slip. At the end of each semester, a utilization report is generated by the
laboratory technician and student assistants. Preventive maintenance and calibration
records are filed and kept by the laboratory coordinator. Other laboratory documents are
also maintained by the coordinator in an identified storage and place.
