The College's four main large computer classrooms are equipped with high-resolution, large-screen projection systems and equipped with updated computers at every seat. In addition, we are home to several multimedia presentation classrooms equipped with high-resolution projection systems, document readers, video projectors, stereo sound, wireless microphones, and integrated laptop and Internet connections, all controlled through a touch screen.
In 2008, the College opened a new Engineering Learning Center for freshmen. This facility houses desktop computers, laptops with wireless Internet, network printers, a high-resolution video projector, and software needed by freshmen for their assignments.
The College maintains several other general-purpose computer labs for student use, loaded with AutoCAD, Matlab, MathCAD, and other software. The undergraduate computer labs are open weekdays from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m., Sundays from noon to 11 p.m., with additional late-night and weekend hours near the end of each semester. A graduate student lab is accessible 24 hours a day with ID-card access. In addition, individual academic departments maintain specialized computer labs to support their programs.
The College's Information Technology department provides on-site support for hardware and software issues in College computer labs, classrooms, and offices; maintains a high-speed local area network and wireless network; provides technical support and trouble-shooting; and upgrades and replaces equipment on a regular basis. The Department is housed in newly renovated offices adjacent to a new data center with redundant power supplies, equipment, and air conditioning. All of the College servers are on a three-year replacement schedule.
