Workstations
The department provides a 16-seat Graduate Computing Lab on the first floor of the Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall. This lab is accessible to all currently enrolled graduate students.
The lab is equipped with four Sony workstations, a gift from Sony Corp, and four Dell
workstations purchased with funds from the generous Whitaker leadership award.
An additional four HP Itanium workstations are to be housed in this lab under a recently awarded educational grant from Hewlett Packard valued at over $100,000.
Electronic security has recently been installed to control lab access.
The Sony and the Dell workstations run the Windows XP Professional operating system.
The HP Itanium workstations run Red Hat Linux.
