The Computer Science and Software Engineering department offers various facilities for students to use. These facilities include the numerous computer labs located in the ground floor of Benton Hall and in the Data Science Building. The CSE department has recently updated some of the labs in Benton Hall for use not only for labs, but also as a lecture space. There is an open lab where students can work on homework or projects with their peers.
Computer Labs
Benton Hall has one large, general-use computing lab. It is open about 85 hours a week (8-12 M-R, 8-5 F, 12-5 Sat, 2-12 Sun). This lab is restricted to those taking CEC courses and provides access to software needed for coursework and student projects. Benton 010 has approximately 20 Windows computers.
The division attempts to replace 1/4 of these computer systems every year. With the exception of applications that integrate with specific hardware needs or have prohibitive licensing, the same image (and software) is run in all classrooms and labs.
Printing is provided as part of the University pay-for-print system. The lab includes black & white and color laser jet printing.
In addition to the general lab, the division supports several instructional labs/classrooms:
Office Application Labs
Benton 001: 30 Windows student station
Benton 024: 30 Windows student stations
Programming/Instruction Labs
Benton 002: 28 Linux student stations
Benton 006: 44 Windows student stations
Benton 009: 30 Windows student stations
DSB 385: Laptop lab with 5 physical workstations.
Cybersecurity Labs
DSB 365: Cybersecurity range/lab with 30 workstations in a configurable, sandboxed room.
