Computer Science Facilities

The Medgar Evers College Research and Computing Facility, used by students and faculty, consists of several advanced microcomputer labs utilizing Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows xp, UNIX, and Macintosh based machines, and the campus Local Area Network. The LAN provides campus computers with high-speed communications and a gateway to other CUNY computer resources and the Internet. There are 21 computer labs supporting over 400 machines with support for various academic applications. Selected labs contain computerized projection-based systems for instructor-led courses.

The advanced computing lab, in the Department of Physical, Environmental and Computer Sciences, serves as an instruction and problem-solving lab for Linux systems research, education and practice. The graphics workstations in this lab enable faculty and students to use advanced data visualization techniques, including Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Image Definition Language (IDL), Advanced Visualization System (AVS), MATLAB, and IRAF. The advanced computing Lab also has a mobile counterpart consisting of HP laptops and projectors, part of an award received from the HP Teaching with Technology Award.
