Laboratory Experience
Hajim students work alongside our faculty and researchers using state of the art equipment in specialized laboratories. In these labs, students get hands-on experience using the same equipment professionals use in the field—preparing them for careers in a variety of industries, as well as giving them the experience they need to pursue their own research in a higher education setting.
