Announcing Virtual Computer Lab Pilot

The College of Engineering is running a pilot of virtualized instructional labs. Virtualization saves on hardware and support costs, and allows students to connect to the lab systems from anywhere in the world when the labs are not in session.

Currently the two Windows 7 instructional labs in Academic Surge Rooms 1044 and 1116 are part of the pilot. Additional labs will likely be rolled out after the pilot concludes. If you wish to connect remotely to the labs, follow the links and instructions on this page. If no seats are available right now, try back later --- there is no wait queuing for the labs. You will be able to install the VMWare view client as software on your local computer (windows, macintosh, linux, ios and android) and launch the virtual lab session natively, or you can use the web browser that you are viewing this website with for the web-based virtual interface. both options provide the same desktop, although the native client gives you more options for connecting peripherals and a smoother user interface experience.

If you are having trouble but have never used the virtual labs in-person, please come to the labs during open hours (8AM to 8PM Monday through Thursday, 8AM to 6PM Friday) and make sure you are properly set up (technicians in the labs can help you).

If you have trouble with connecting to or using the virtual lab environment and you have successfully used the labs in Academic Surge 1044 or 1116 this academic year, please submit a help ticket at http://servicehub.ucdavis.edu, selecting "College of Engineering" for "My support team", or by sending email to eacs-support@ucdavis.edu.
