Classrooms and laboratories contain video and computer projection equipment. The campus local area networks are, in turn, connected via highspeed connections to the Internet. To maintain currency in computational tools, all teaching and faculty computers are replaced every three years with the latest equipment as part of a Universitywide program. The close proximity of student classrooms, faculty, and laboratories in the O'Shaughnessy Science Building provides a setting where students feel comfortable and familiar. The physical setting enhances their sense of commitment to the program and the University.
Libraries are well-staffed and open at convenient hours for students.
Computing, instructional support, multi-media, distance technologies and a host of other technologies fall into this category. Academic and career counseling, admissions and registration, parking, security, residential and food services are other examples of institutional support for engineering students. A site visit followed in September 2000. The final report is forthcoming. The MMSE program has been accredited by the EAC of ABET since 1990.
