Computer Science Laboratories


Most computer science courses include a laboratory component where you'll learn to write programs using contemporary tools and techniques.

General Purpose Laboratories

Several general purpose laboratories are available to all students on campus, on a 24/7 basis.  These include PC laboratories (running Windows XP) and Sun workstation laboratories (running Solaris).

Many of these laboratories are used on a regular basis for instruction.  Pictured at left are students participating in a CS-101 (Computing & Algorithms I) laboratory experience.

CS Systems Laboratory

CS Systems Laboratory

Certain advanced classes are held in our CS Systems Laboratory.  PCs running Red Hat Linux are used to teach modern operating systems concepts; students learn the internals of an operating system through projects which modify and extend the operating system.  The laboratory includes a projector and whiteboards for conventional class instruction.

The picture at left shows students working together during a CS-451 (Operating Systems) laboratory session.
