SC 4107 Lab Machines

The EWS computers in Siebel Center for Computer Science room 4107 are available for your use in the course. There are 21 computers with Unreal Engine 4 installed. All students have e-lock access to room.

We have set aside 3 machines for remote access only. You should be able to access the machine using Remote Desktop from Windows or Mac machines or even a ChromeBook. The instructions are here: LabCheck instructions

Make sure you backup your files someplace other than the EWS machines. The machine filesystems are cleaned periodically, so you will need to store your Unreal projects in a repo or on Box or Drive, etc.
