Welcome: ECC Users ...
This is the website for the URI College of Engineering Computer Center. Think of it as the online presence for a place that many URI engineering students call home.
The ECC features 85 workstations, scanning, printing and plotting services, cable and wireless Internet access for personal laptop computers, three classrooms and a conference room.
The ECC also provides centralized services, with two linux servers, for @egr.uri.edu email accounts, college web sites and online file storage for engineering students. Please refer to the left menu for more information on any of these topics.
The following links are to a general introduction to the ECC, as presented in the Fall 2007 EGR105 seminars:

Discovery Center
Coming soon to the back of the ECC!
The Discovery Center will be a high-end computer classroom. It will have seating for 30 students with dual monitor PCs; an instructor podium with tablet monitors and the ability to interact with any of the student PCs; eight wide screen flat panel TV monitors, two projectors, and a laser printer. The room will be a renovation of rooms 203C & E, combining them into one large space. The Perdikakis conference room, Kirk 203D, will remain intact with a small study room connecting it to the main part of the Computer Center.
The Discovery Center is Open!
