Among the things to plan for are Engineering shared resources, ECC computer lab usage, classroom resources and software for classes in the fall semester. I can help you plan for the Engineering shared resources, and Arturo Padilla can work with you regarding ECC computer lab usage and software for classes. However, please contact us starting now since Arturo and I will both be busy preparing for the Fall Semester in the ECC labs and throughout the college. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One main concern each year is the availability of software for classroom use. Software titles currently available for class use can be found on the ECC lab computers, and on <a href="file:///\\apps-1\apps">\\apps-1\apps</a>. Please note that while some software titles may have multiple versions in the past (e.g. Matlab, Comsol, etc.), they will have only two latest versions from now on. For an updated software list, please visit ecc.egr.uh.edu. Any questions on contents of that website should be directed to Arturo Padilla (<a href="mailto:apadilla@uh.edu">apadilla@uh.edu</a>). If you are new to the college and need to plan for computing needs for your classes, you are highly encouraged to contact us sooner than later.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for working with us early on to prepare for the coming semester.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kiet Luong<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Manager, Desktop Support & Windows Servers<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Email: <a href="mailto:KietL@uh.edu">KietL@uh.edu</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Voice: 713.743.9974<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
