A message from
Dean Schowalter
The instructional computing laboratories available to you are equipped with
some of the most advanced engineering workstations available. They are shared
by all majors and all departments of the college. The laboratories were
identified as a very high priority for instructional programs a few years ago,
when a committee of faculty and students, with the support of Engineering
Council, advised the office of the dean that the laboratories are necessary
if we are to prepare our students for the environment of work and learning
they will enter when they have graduated. Moreover, advanced computation and
graphics are an integral part of the problem-solving environment in which you
must be trained if you are going to be in the front rank of your nation's
engineers and scientists.
These laboratories are made possible by a special state grant that is
sponsored by the Illinois Society of Professional Engineers. This grant is
matched by industrial contributions and gifts of alumni. There are many who,
along with our faculty, share the desire that you receive a modern education
with the most up-to-date instrumentation available. Enjoy these laboratories
and take care of them. The College of Engineering will strive to keep these
laboratories as current as possible and the CCSO office will continue to
present you with the best service that can be provided.
