Shared Resources
Computer lab
The department maintains a computer lab for instructional use in HAMP 4247. The lab contains 20 Linux computers and 20 Windows computers. Each workstation has one of each, sharing a common keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The instructor workstation also has an extra cable to allow laptop hookup for projection.
The Linux computers use the EAS Linux setup found in research labs across the department. Software requests for the lab should be submitted at least two weeks before the software is needed, to provide time for the software to be loaded and tested.
