Graduate students may also obtain books and journal articles on interlibrary loan from other libraries in the city, throughout the United States, and in various other countries. Additionally there are several laboratories within the department which have computers for specialized use. The Computing Facility is a shared SEAS resource designed to meet the specific computing needs of engineering instruction and research programs. In general, any SEAS student may apply for an account to use any of the equipment for which he or she has an appropriate need. Electronic mail, access to network newsgroups, file transfer, and remote connections are fully supported.
Class accounts for specific computing resources are available and are activated by the instructor.
These accounts are valid for one semester, expiring one week after the last exam day. Files may be carried forward on request. Individual student accounts may be requested at the SEAS Computing Facility Technical Assistance office, room 403 Tompkins Hall. Students complete an account request form that includes basic usage guidelines information. Staff is available for basic technical and operations support Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. until midnight, Friday 8 a.m. until 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. until midnight.
