Auburn University by Dave Young Auburn University uses an ever-increasing level of computer resources. Auburn has made Internet connections available in all dormitory rooms and has many computer labs accessible to students.
Many administrative functions are now accessible over the network as well.
These changes have resulted in Auburn being named one of the top 25 Most Wired Colleges in the nation by Yahoo Internet Life magazine. The criteria that this award is based on includes access to networks and computing resources. Professor Jay Khodadadi of the Mechanical Engineering Department has developed, benchmarked, and tested a computational fluid dynamics program to solve the unsteady two-dimensional fluid flow and temperature fields within liquid droplets. The L-F transformation is extremely useful in calculation of control gains and state reconstruction. These programs could not be executed on a workstation due to lack of processing capabilities and memory.
