In MEF University Computer Engineering department, in order to apply the flipped learning model in the best way, three different laboratories have been established: The faculty computer laboratory, a software engineering laboratory to support our department students, and a high-performance computing research laboratory to successfully carry out our research and development works with up-to-date software and hardware.
There are a total of 88 (40 + 48) desktop computers and two projection systems in each of the faculty computer laboratories, and all practical lectures can take place in those laboratories.
In the software engineering laboratory, there are 30 computers and a touch screen television projection system, which have been created in a modern flipped classroom layout and are placed in a way that is suitable for collective student work.
In the high-performance computing research laboratory, there are computers equipped with state-of-the-art multi-core processors and graphics cards that can operate at high speeds. In addition, there are required software and hardware in the lab suitable to pursue research. There are many research groups in our department using these software and hardware equipment. These research groups can be listed as follows: Brain Dynamics Research Group, Human-Computer Interaction Research Group, Artificial Intelligence & Robotics Research Group, Computer Vision Research Group, Big Data Analytics Research Group, Natural Language Processing Research Group, Distributed Systems, Networks and Storage Research Group.In addition, the following equipment is available which can also be used by undergraduate and graduate students in their research projects:
