The Electrical & Computer Engineering Computing Labs serve the instructional needs of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. The public ECE Computing Labs are funded by student fee dollars. The ECE Computing Committee has established four labs containing a total of 82 Windows XP Pro workstations and 26 Red Hat Enterprise Linux workstations. Each year over 2000 accounts are served by the ECE Computing Facilities.

Keycard Readers: We are aware of the problems with the keycard readers in the Dreese and Caldwell buildings. Unfortunately the current system is failing to provide the services we require, and it is our understanding that this situation cannot be rectified with the current equipment. The good news is that the keycard systems are scheduled to be replaced. Last best guess was that this would happen in December 2007... obviously that date was missed, but the contract is out to bid, so it really is just a matter of time.

Note Bene: The computing facilities for this department do not use social security numbers. Please do not, ever, include your SSN when communicating with the Site Staff. We don't need your SSN, and we really do not want it.
