Computer and Network-Wireless Access in the School of Engineering

All Engineering

All engineering students are welcome to use the CAD labs in Carrier Hall, Room 127 and 108. Students should submit an on-line application for acquiring access. Once the account is created, the user name and temporary password will be mailed to the student. Scheduled lab hours are 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Friday; 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sunday, although all students in the School of Engineering have 24/7 access to these labs through use of their student ID card and the card access readers on the doors to these labs. All engineering students have access to Carrier and Anderson Halls 24/7 through the two doors that use the card readers

Chemical Engineering

The Chemical Engineering computer lab is in Anderson 226. It is open to ChE majors only and all juniors, seniors, and graduate students in chemical engineering have 24/7 access through use of their ID cards and the card reader to this lab. Students need to contact Ms. Bethany Levalley, ChE Office, 134 Anderson, 915-7023, lavalley@olemiss.edu to sign a computer usage agreement and acquire a username and temporary password.

Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering computer lab is in Carrier 213. It is open to engineering students upon enrollment in ENGR 207 (Computer Graphics), a required class for CE, ME, and GE. If access is needed prior to this course, a request should be submitted to Mr. Gene Walker, glw1@olemiss.edu, 915-5369 to acquire a username and temporary password. After-hours access to the lab is automatic for all juniors, seniors, and graduate students in civil engineering through use of the ID card reader; others may request access through the CE Office (Carrier 203).

Computer Science

Information about how computer science students can access the Department's computing facilities can be found on the Department Department's website. Questions should be directed to Anthony Nocentino, aen@cs.olemiss.edu or Department Chair, Dr. Conrad Cunningham, hcc@cs.olemiss.edu.

Electrical Engineering

The Electrical Engineering computer lab is in Anderson 301. It is open to EE majors only. Students may apply for an account via the Department's website, reviewing the computer use policies, and submitting the application. After-hours access to the lab is automatic for all juniors, seniors, and graduate students in electrical engineering through use of the ID card reader

Geological Engineering

General computing facilities for students in the Geology and Geological Engineering program include access to a group of computers and a printer in Carrier 118 and the computing facilities of the senior design lab. The senior design lab is generally used by students in upper division courses. The Department will assign user names and temporary passwords as needed.

Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering computer lab is in Carrier 205. It is open to ME majors only. Students may obtain a User ID and password from the ME Department. After-hours access to the lab is automatic for all juniors, seniors, and graduate students in mechanical engineering through use of the ID card reader.

Wireless Access in Engineering

To access the university wireless network In Carrier and Anderson Halls, you will need a valid University of Mississippi WebID and password. When you attempt to access the internet, you will be redirected to the University authorization site to verify your WebID and password. Once approved, the system will automatically connect you to the wireless network. Weir Hall (Computer Science) is also equipped with wireless networking capabilities. Students should be able to access the wireless network from anywhere in Weir using a valid WebID. Our Cisco access points support both the 802.11a and 802.11b protocols. Of course, an 802.11g card can access the 802.11b portion of the network.
