Computing Facilities Overview

The Computer Science and Engineering Department maintains state-of-the-art instructional and research facilities that are continually updated. Instructional facilities include high-speed servers and more than 200 workstations, including Sun Solaris computers, Linux computers and Microsoft Windows XP/2000 and .NET computers. Facilities are connected to the high-speed campus network and are available for student use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Individual research groups in the CSE Department have their own laboratories with specialized equipment. The research groups and laboratories include:
Biometrics Research Group
MSU CyberSecurity Initiative
Database Research Group (DRG)
Embodied Intelligence Laboratory (EI)
Experimental Laboratory for Advanced Networks and Systems (eLANS)
Genetic Algorithms Research and Applications Group (GARAGe)
Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL)
Media and Entertainment Technologies Laboratory (MET)
Pattern Recognition and Image Processing Laboratory (PRIP)
Software Engineering and Network Systems Laboratory (SENS)
Wireless Communications and High Speed Networks Laboratory (WCHSN)

In addition to computing support provided directly by the Computer Science and Engineering Department, the College of Engineering provides computing support via the Division of Engineering Computing Services (DECS). DECS maintains computer labs and other services for all Engineering students. All MSU students also receive support from the MSU Computing Service Centers whch provide MSU email accounts, high-speed networking services and numerous microcomputer labs on campus.
