Computer equipment includes a medium size mainframe computer system. The college has four microcomputer labs installed within the complex. Two of these labs are linked by a local area network. The entire college will be linked via a fiber optics dual ring FDDI network with the mainframe computer serving as an outside link to national networks such as Internet, Suranet, MuSpin, etc. The Department of Civil Engineering has equipment to perform most fundamental laboratory experiments in environmental and water resources engineering.
Equipment also is available for experiments in fluid flow in open channels and closed conduits.
The department's environmental laboratories support research and instruction in water and wastewater analysis, solid and hazardous waste, air quality and bioremediation. Civil Engineering has a comprehensive wet chemistry laboratory with gas chromatographs, mass spectrophotometers and atomic absorption spectrophotometers. Faculty and students have access to a full complement of mainframe, workstation, and microcomputer hardware and software for theoretical research in environmental and water resources engineering. A fully equipped geo-technical laboratory also supports work performed by faculty and students. The Department of Electrical Engineering currently operates five laboratories.
