The Visualization, Simulation, and Design Laboratory!

ViSiDeL has a rich and varied history; It has and continues to develop solutions and advancements for emerging techologies for use at both CAU's campus and at it's many partnerships.

Our Mission

ViSiDeL has a strategic mission to develop exploratory software and instrumentation for simulations.

• To develop integrated visualization, simulation and design educational and research programs that respond to compelling scientific, computing and engineering design needs.
• To promote multi- and inter-disciplinary science and engineering research projects that will enhance the international commercial and space-exploration competitiveness of the U.S.
• To enhance faculty/student collaborative efforts in new virtual-reality methodologies and techniques.
• To attract the best students and faculty to science and engineering, and provide the motivation and support needed to assure their success and participation in the U.S. scientific workforce.
• To promote the participation of minority scientists and engineers in Army projects on Smart Materials, Structural Systems and Distributed Interactive Simulation.
