Virtual Lab Access


Our new virtual lab is a portal that provides students with access to most of the software required for classwork. The Virtual Lab allows students to run a complete Windows desktop. The new virtual lab also provides access to the Engineering home directory (H: drive) and the general campus home directory (I: drive).
