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. 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.

Chemical Engineering

The Chemical Engineering computer lab is in Anderson 226. It is open to ChE majors only. 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. Door keys for the computer lab (for after hours use) are available for ChE Seniors on a first come, first serve basis.

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 may be requested within 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. Door keys for the computer lab (for after hours use) are available for EE upperclassmen on an as needed, first come, first serve basis.

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 201. It is open to ME majors only. Students may obtain a User ID and password from the ME Department. Lab hours are 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 pm Monday-Thursday; 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Friday. Not open on weekends. Students can request special after-hours access from the Department Chair as needed.

Wireless Access in Engineering

There are several different wireless networks within the school. To access the wireless network In Carrier Hall, you will have to register your computer MAC address with the HELP Desk in Weir Hall (5222) before you will be allowed to log on to the "Engineering" wireless access points on both the first and second floor of Carrier Hall. To access the wireless network in Anderson Hall, you will need to contact the chemical Engineering Office for first and second floor wireless access, and you will need to contact the Electrical engineering Office for access on the third floor of Anderson. Weir Hall (Computer Science) is also equipped with wireless networking capabilities. Students should be able to access the wireless network from anywhere in Weir. You will need a valid WebID to access the wireless network. 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.
