  • BLUEsat Satellite (Development in Progress).
  • Robogals

    • Computing Facilities

    The School has computer laboratories for coursework teaching and student projects, including a number of specialist laboratories. In total, the network consists of approximately 700 computers for teaching, research and administration.

  • 260 Intel-based computers running Linux in 13 generic teaching laboratories. Over 100 of these are iMacs, and Windows is available in "virtual machines" on all Linux labs
  • 20 computers running Mac OS X in a teaching lab
  • 40 Linux computers reserved for thesis students
  • 50 computers in specialist teaching laboratories
  • 45 computers in 3 virtual laboratories for teaching
  • 30 locally developed research machines of various kinds
  • 200 systems of various hardware and software configurations for academic staff and research students
  • 50 computers for administration and systems support
  • 35 Linux-based servers providing a number of server functions
  • 33 computers in two Linux clusters for research

    • The School is committed to regular upgrades of its facilities and invests over $700,000 per year on equipment replacement.
