Facilities

The Computer Science facilities' computing and presenting capacity is embodied in a server room, iMac-based Mobile Apps Laboratory, seminar room, conference room,  Collaboration Learning Lab, and server-supported department lounge. Collectively, these areas provide across-the-board support for the activities of students and faculty. Coupling the capacity with the research, the department is an actively growing department advancing Computer Science.

 

Server Room MSCS217

The Server Room provides for the instructional needs of the undergraduate and graduate students. The CS servers can be accessed from most anywhere using the CSX logon and password. Upon log in, a private account for the user with many capabilities becomes available from writing and compiling code to assignment submittal.

Provides access to mobile computing and the Apple world of OSx. Students may use the laboratory to access the department server, the internet, Microsoft Office, and other applications. Use with the department servers, the student and researcher have the use of many tools to further their work.

 

Seminar Room MSCS203W 

Provides capability to demonstrate research and class work in a setting able to televise via ZOOM. The smartboard provides an interactive opportunity for the presenter to electronically write over their presentation or simply write in a white space to be televised elsewhere.
