The Aeronautics & Astronautics Student Computer Lab is located in Room 212 of Guggenheim Hall. The A&A computer lab is designed to provide all department students with access to the tools and software they need to be successful in their A&A coursework. The lab consists of 38 general-purpose "thin client" terminals that use the COE-VDI server images, several "restricted" PCs, 3 printers, and 2 scanners. The lab is a secured room, requiring students to swipe their Husky Card to gain entrance. This allows us to provide students with access to the lab 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are one of few computer labs on campus that allow 24x7 access!

General Purpose PCs

The A&A student computer lab has 38 "thin client" workstations.  These are available to all students, and are configured with all the mathematical and engineering software needed for A&A coursework (as provided by the COE-VDI system. These general-purpose workstations are all running on "Thin Client" devices that connect to the COE-VDI system.

Two additional "Special Purpose" workstations have attached Canon flatbed scanners and include Abode Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for image manipulation.

"Restricted" PCs

In addition to the 38 general-purpose workstations, the A&A computer lab has a few "restricted use" computers. These computers are restricted to login by students enrolled in the Capstone Airplane Design class during Winter and Spring quarters.

Printing

The A&A student computer lab has 2 printers, including one color printer. Printing is available to all students for a nominal fee. See Printing Information for more detail.

Personal Laptops

Students with access to the A&A student computer lab are welcome to bring their personal laptop computers into the lab as we now have a full section of monitors with keyboard and mice set up as Laptop Docking Stations. Wireless network access is provided in the lab through the UW Technology wireless network.
