Success Lab
The Success Lab provides project-based experiences for students, with an emphasis on software development and the exploration of emerging technologies.
Students will train through projects and experiential learning as they work on funded and unfunded projects and participate in credit and non-credit based learning opportunities. Students will also share their experiences through demonstrations, presentations, and trainings. Student creativity will push the study of disruptive technologies that may reshape the technology landscape.
