Resources and Facilities
With its move into a new Science Building in
Fall 2004, Computer Science now has new
computer laboratories and equipment for
them. There are two large teaching labs,
three small research labs, a student work lab,
and an area set aside for network experimentation.
The labs are equipped for the
most part with machines running both XP
and Linux. Software includes symbolic and
numerical mathematics products, compilers
for a good number of languages, integrated
development environments, web and
multimedia development tools, databases,
and packages for special fields such as artificial intelligence. Some computers are set
aside for student experimentation with the
understanding that students may install any
software as long as copyright laws are not
violated.
The Engineering Program occupies classroom,
office, and laboratory spaces in the
new Hilton Science Center. Modern teaching
laboratories, equipped with state of the
art equipment, are available in the areas of
computer science, simulation, modeling,
electrical devices, digital electronics, microprocessors,
fluid mechanics, bioengineering,
biotechnology, and materials science. All research
involves undergraduate students who
present their work at regional and national
engineering conferences. Modern computational
facilities, with internet connectivity,
are available for student use, as is a student
lounge, student offices, and special projects
laboratory. |
