Lab 302
This room serves as both a classroom and a laboratory. Whenever it is not being used as a classroom, it is available as a laboratory for use by Computer Science and Computer Security students. This is not a laboratory for the general ESU population.
Lab 304
This laboratory is dedicated to the support of our Computer Security courses. We use this laboratory to investigate the various viruses, worms and other software invading computer systems today. We use the self-contained network to investigate the setup, configuration and maintenance of networks and computers.
Lab 306
This classroom serves multiple purposes. It serves as a location where any of our Computer Science or Computer Security students can go to get individual help with their programs and assignments. Our students also use this room for some of their laboratory assignments.
Lab 404
This laboratory is outfitted with workstations which are available to our Computer Science and Computer Security students. Freshmen are restricted to using the laboratory up until 10 PM daily. All the rest of our students have 24 hour/7 day access throughout the semester. Access to the building is controlled by "swipe" cards and access to the room is available via a numeric code and keypad. Access to the workstations is controlled by user ID and password. This laboratory is not available to the general ESU population.
Lab 405
This laboratory is outfitted with workstations which are available to our Computer Science and Computer Security students. Freshmen are restricted to using the laboratory up until 10 PM daily. All the rest of our students have 24 hour/7 day access throughout the semester. Access to the building is controlled by "swipe" cards and access to the room is available via a numeric code and keypad. Access to the workstations is controlled by user ID and password. This laboratory is not available to the general ESU population.
Assets
Linnux Parallel Processor
Our present Parallel lab is located in Stroud 306. The machine consists of 13 nodes and is monitored and programmed by 3 workstations and 1 server.
Hand Scanner
This apparatus is supplied by an outside concern and is part of a graduate thesis project. The project is looking into the "goodness" of hand identification algorithms.
Cartesian Robot
This cartesian robot is designed and built by our staff. It consists of a controllable XY table as well as a motorized depth adjustment. This gives our students a hands-on experience with industrial grade stepper motors.
Chemical Factory
This apparatus is located in Stroud 304 and supports the real-time course. It is designed to simulate some of the workings and computer access methods for a small factory.
Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)
This laboratory apparatus is used to show students the problems they will run into in the real world when working with real-time systems. It is modeled after the "factory of the future" where there are no humans needed for the manufacturing process. There are several motorized transporters which are used to move materials around the factory to one of eight stations. Each station has a different function. There are automated loading and unloading machines at each station which move the "load" from the transporter to/from the station.
Multiple Cooperating Agents Package (MCAP)
This apparatus is used for the integration of several technologies to demonstrate the control of different assets. The table is precisely controlled by stepper motors and two cameras (monitored in real time by overhead stereo cameras moved by an XY table. moved as a single unit. The "playing field" can be used by Rhino robots, or autonomous "BoeBots" robots. We have used this apparatus with a spoken natural language interface, used to both interrogate the location of objects as well as direct their movements and actions.
