Technology in USIU

 

Technology has improved drastically over the years. Modern technology includes, airplanes, mobile phones, computers, electric cars and trains and much more. USIU has been able to implement some recent advances in technology. Most recently was the use of online learning during the pandemic. When all and sundry knew everything was lost, USIU did not go into a stop and we engaged in online learning. The use of zoom and blackboard was implemented. While we were at the comfort of our homes using WiFi and bundles, we actively engaged in learning for the period of time that the raging pandemic was at its worst.

The use of backup generators is another good technology that provides electricity all through out the entire school. When the is power failure, the generators kick start automatically without delay. In another important part of technological advancement here at USIU is the pharmacy laboratory. The lab is very well equipped with any type of machinery used to enhance the learning process. An example is the gas chromatography chamber which cost approximately ten million kshs. This is a chamber that is used by researchers in research institutions and it is available here at USIU for students to use.

All this and many more are some of the technology that USIU has implemented to help in its advancement
