It is recommended that the Department avails the necessary softwares in the rightful places to increase access to students when the need arises. There are currently four computers loaded with both NXT Mindstorm and LabVIEW softwares. The same computers are fully utilized when such softwares like Gambit, MATLAB, LabView and CAMaster are being used and when there are iterations going on, it is impossible use the computer for at least 24 hours. One thing which has puzzled us a lot is the fact that the PCs in the CAD/ cam center have loads of softwares and they usually will complain of low virtual memory. This really makes working difficult because amongst other things, the chances of these computers executing tasks successfully are very low.

It is further requested that the Department should avail all the items like; PLCs, DAQ plug in boards and transducers for signal conditioning- these will enable successful working environment with such VIs like LabVIEW.
