Undergraduate Computer Lab

Main Chemical Engineering Computer Room
(40 P-II 450MHz)

Plant Design Computer Room (20 P-4 1.3 GHz)

All workstations have access to software for process simulation, statistical analysis, math, word processing, spreadsheet, and compilers.  All workstations are linked via switched 100 Base-T to the departmental network.  The departmental network is attached to the TAMU Campus Network making  campus  and internet resources available.

Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Students are eligible for a personal account on the Undergraduate Lab File Server.   Through this account, the user is granted rights to access the computers in the Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Computer Lab.  The account provides the User with 50 MB of space for E-mail and user files as well as access to all software supported in the Undergraduate Computer Lab.  The Undergraduate Computer Lab is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Access to the lab is controlled  through a card reader system that uses student I.D. cards.

Unix accounts are also available for those undergraduate students who need to use this resource.  This system is used for CHEN 426 (Plant Design) and CHEN 424 (Mass Transfer) and runs Aspen, a client server simulation package.  The system will seem transparent to the user, because the preparation and output is performed on the PCs.

For presentations, a color projector and notebook computer are available for check out. Please reserve the projector at least a week in advance.  For more information, contact Jeff Polasek (845-3398)

The NetWare File Server is a Dell PowerEdge 6300 system running dual 450MHz Xenon processors  with 4 Gigabytes of RAM, a 90 Gigabyte Raid 5 Disk Array, a Gigabit Ethernet connection and runs NetWare 5.1.
