Computer Facilities

Students and faculty in the College of Engineering have access to a variety of computing facilities within the College and via central resources offered by the Information Technology office. Public facilities within the College include both UNIX and VMS timesharing systems as well as a cluster of graphics workstations. Software available on these systems includes popular word processors and text formatters, a C++ development environment, and packages devoted to digital signal processing, control systems and mathematical manipulation, and graphics visualization. In addition to the public machines, there is a vast array of workstations and computer laboratories available through research associations with departments and individual faculty members. Computer laboratory concentrations include parallel computing, VLSI design, microcomputer simulation and instruction, data acquisition, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacture (CAM).
