What type of technology is used in first-year university labs?
I take medicine that makes me unable to operate large machinery, and I'd like to know if it's a problem I need to address with someone at the university. #technology #university #first-year#college #science #career #medicine

Hi Vanessa,
It depends on your university and your classes and major. I suggest you talking to your college's academic advisors. What science you study also would require different machines. I studied a biological science, and for the most part, the lab courses mostly just used refrigerators, incubators, microscopes, flask shakers, water baths, and centrifuges. I guess the largest machinery are the -70 freezers and incubators. It's best to check with your university :)
best regards,
Herman

Hello Vanessa,
That is an excellent question, that will be dependent on the type of sciences that you are taking. My best advice would be to review the course curriculum with the advisor to determine what is involved with the course and the equipment that will be used. Each university is different; however, an advisor can provide you more insight regarding that.
I hope this helps

Hi Vanessa,
I am from Computer science background and this field requires no large machinery. The lab work is all done with mostly computers. There was no machinery required at any course I did. Please find out which field you are more keen to study at University and take up as career path. Even with other streams where lab work can involve machines, there can be some optional subjects which you can choose to avoid the labs.
Once you have the choice clear, reaching out to University will give you much insight to decide.
Thanks
