ELI Computer Lab Click here for more computer lab pictures
The ELI Computer Lab is located in rooms 9 and 10 in the basement of Trimble Hall. The lab consists of two connecting rooms with 38 networked Dell PCs. Most computers have at least 512MB RAM and DVD/CD-R/RW drives. Two laser printers and one scanner are also available for student use.
Lab services and materials such as laser printing and handout materials are provided free of charge. All computers are networked and connected to the Internet providing high-speed access to the World Wide Web, E-Mail, and library resources of UTA. Computerized accent reduction technology is also available.
Numerous software titles are available to students and teachers covering a wide range of topics, skills, and levels. Most of these applications are installed locally on the individual computers. Some of the collection is available on CD-ROM.
The lab is open, generally, from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. At least one lab assistant is on duty during these hours. The labs are reserved primarily for the use of Grammar/Writing, Listening/Speaking, and Reading classes during the periods in which those classes are normally conducted, and classes are scheduled into the Lab by the appropriate skills coordinator. When the group scheduled in the lab during a particular time slot does not occupy the entire compliment of computers in that lab, then walk-in students are permitted and encouraged to avail themselves of the equipment at the discretion of the instructor.
