The A&A Student Computer Lab is located in GUG 212. It is designed to provide all department students with access to the tools and software they need to be successful in their A&A coursework. The lab is a secured room, requiring students to swipe their Husky Cards to gain entrance. This allows us to provide students with access to the lab 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are one of few computer labs on campus that allow 24x7 access!
General purpose PCs
The A&A student computer lab has 38 "thin client" workstations. These are available to all students, and are configured with all the mathematical and engineering software needed for A&A coursework (as provided by the COE-VDI system. These general-purpose workstations are all running on "Thin Client" devices that connect to the COE-VDI system.
Printing and scanning
The A&A student computer lab has two printers, including one color printer. Printing is available to all students for a nominal fee. See Printing Information for more detail.
Two additional "Special Purpose" workstations have attached Canon flatbed scanners and include Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for image manipulation.

Students with access to the A&A student computer lab are welcome to bring their personal laptop computers into the lab as we now have a full section of monitors with keyboard and mice set up as Laptop Docking Stations.
