The CES program at GCU offers a variety of labs designed to explore innovation, creativity and practical problem-solving across disciplines. These are just a few examples of the labs CES offers:
This lab focuses on resilience, mindfulness, coping and well-being. Projects include studying trauma-informed care, exploring the effects of volunteerism on undergraduates and using virtual reality (VR) to research the psychology of awe.
Labellelabs works to design and prototype both medical and non-medical products in collaboration with GCU’s Canyon Ventures, Cybersecurity, Colangelo College of Business and the College of Engineering and Technology. Projects include electrochemical sensors for disease management, wearable health technology, prosthetics and advanced manufacturing solutions. The lab’s apprenticeship model blends research, product development and business principles to help prepare students for graduate school, industry roles or entrepreneurship.
The P.O.W.E.R. Lab gives students hands-on opportunities to advance knowledge in exercise science, sports performance, wellness and related research fields. Students can develop professional communication skills, gain conference presentation experience and apply evidence-based practices to enhance their understanding of human performance.
CAIR explores artificial intelligence applications in VR simulations, robotics, AI-based counseling tools, brain-computer interfaces and IoT devices such as delivery robots.
This lab provides creative services in graphic design, web design, motion graphics and other media for campus departments and local organizations, giving students real project experience.
LIA focuses on developing ethical leaders through research in problem-solving, collaboration and professional readiness, helping prepare students for roles in diverse fields.
