Labs & Classrooms

ETS manages 20 college computer labs and electronic classrooms (generally referred to as “labs”) for student and faculty use within the College of Engineering. In the ETS computer labs you will find PCs running Windows, thin clients connected to Windows servers, or both. How you log in, access software, and perform routine computing task is the same no matter which computer you are using. Some differences are mentioned in the pages linked throughout.

Idea2Product 3D Printing Lab

The Idea2Product (I2P) Lab is a facility serving CSU for 3D printing, 3D scanning and related technology and education – a “3D Make Lab.” They provide rich expertise and education in order to use these powerful new 3D tools. They enable students and faculty of any discipline – Entrepreneurs, Researchers, Artists, or “makers” of any kind – to use our lab to exercise their creative artistry and innovative spirit, and transform their ideas into things they can hold in their hand.

The I2P Lab is not managed by ETS. For contact info, please see here.

Lab & Classroom Use Policies

Last Revised January 2018

Since the Engineering College computer labs are a shared environment with many students needing the lab’s resources, there must be policies of use so that all users will have a fair and equal opportunity to use the lab’s computers without distractions or annoyances.

Because of this, any policy violation will result in suspension of network privileges and other consequences. These policies apply to the Virtual Classroom (VCL) as well.

  1. Use of the computing facilities must be in keeping with the CSU’s Acceptable Use Policy. Non-academic uses must be stopped and the computer given up when other students need the computer for school work.
  2. Be courteous to those around you by talking quietly and keeping sounds from the computer to a minimum. Use headphones if sound is needed.
  3. Please make an effort to keep the labs and computing equipment clean, by cleaning up after yourself when you are finished with your work.
  4. Appropriate dress, including shoes and shirts, are required in all labs.
  5. If you need to take a break, computers may be locked (by typing Ctrl+Alt+Del) for up to 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the computer will be unlocked by an administrator and made available to other students. (Please see the note below.)
  6. Do not use multiple computers if others are waiting to use a computer.
  7. For the safety of Engineering students and the security of computing equipment, do not attempt to defeat the door lock or security mechanisms. This includes jamming any of the Engineering lab’s doors open at any time.
  8. Using a university computer to view pornographic material is a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and is disrespectful to those in the vicinity.
  9. Sleeping is not permitted in the labs.
  10. Do not perform any actions which disrupt the use of the network for others. This includes intentionally broadcasting messages to another computer or another user without the user’s permission

Thank you for observing these policies.

Note for policy #5: For those who need to run long simulations and would like to leave the computer while the simulation is running, we have other ETS resources meant for this purpose such as the Windows or Linux servers. If those resources cannot work for you, please contact the ETS Academic Technology Manager.
