SENS also supports and maintains the Enginet Distance Learning Facilities. SENS also provides and maintains a full array of instructional communications and multimedia resources. NSF funds are requested to support the purchase of a Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation. For compute-intensive processing, we have a Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000 with 8 CPUs and 1 Gigabyte of memory. The lower division service courses are taught in a Macintosh lab and a Windows NT lab.
Most labs have laser printers available.
The graduate lab and servers are also used for graduate student and faculty research computing. In addition to the graduate lab, some graduate students have X terminals on the desks in their offices. The department' s internal networking is a mix of 100BaseT, switched 10BaseT and regular 10BaseT ethernet. Support from NSF is gratefully acknowledged.
