Computers


Computer facilities are available at the university, school, and departmental levels. The university's computing services are managed by an organization called the Office of Information Technology (OIT) http://oit.rutgers.edu, which is under the direction of the Vice President of Information Technology. OIT has three components including Campus Computing Services, which manages campus computing centers, email, web services, and other campus activities; Enterprise Systems and Services, which provides services for administrative computing, information protection and security, and telecommunications; and Instructional and Research Technology, which supports teaching and research needs. University facilities and services on the New Brunswick campuses are managed by New Brunswick Computing Services (NBCS) http://nbcs.rutgers.edu/index.php. School of Engineering facilities are managed by Engineering Computing Services (ECS), http://ecs.rutgers.edu. Each School of Engineering department also maintains its own computer laboratories that provide specialized software for the use of its students and faculty. All facilities are connected to RUNet via the high-speed engineering backbone.

On the New Brunswick campuses there are 15 public computer laboratories or hubs provided by NBCS, including the Busch Campus Computing Center that is near the engineering complex and the university facility most used by engineering students. The Busch Campus facility offers approximately 200 varied workstations including PCs and iMacs. Scanning and printing services and a wide range of software are also provided. The Busch Campus facility also contains the Digital Media Lab, featuring state-of-the-art microcomputing graphics technology.

Engineering Computing Services maintains two major instructional laboratories within the engineering complex. These include the Design, Simulation, and Visualization (DSV) Lab and the Engineering Information Technology (EIT) Lab. Each facility is available for instruction, research, and general student use. The DSV Lab consists of 60 Dell dual boot 2.8 GHz Windows/Linux workstations. It is also equipped with a smart board projection system with a color projector, and a variety of software including MATLAB and ProEngineer. The EIT Lab consists of 33 1.8 GHz Dell computers running Windows and Linux. It also has a smart board projection system and a video component that allows several modes of operation, including linkage with a 10 CPU Linux cluster to produce a high resolution, multiprojector system for scientific modeling in real time.
