Electrical Engineering IT Resources

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

Electrical Engineering is now offering a VDI environment to EE undergraduate students at University Park. VDI allows you access all software available in our teaching labs remotely from your apartment or dorm room, using your own PC. Simply visit https://weblabs.engr.psu.edu and login with your PSU username and password. Availability is limited at this time, as there are only 30 concurrent connections. One requirement to use VDI is that you must increase the storage capacity of your PASS space. Instructions for increasing your PASS storage space, as well as some FAQs can be found here: https://www.ncts.psu.edu/vdi/ Lastly, if there are any issues, questions, or concerns regarding the VDI environment, please contact eeitsupport@engr.psu.edu

About

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science was created in the spring of 2015 to allow greater access to courses offered by both departments for undergraduate and graduate students in exciting collaborative research fields.

We offer B.S. degrees in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering and data science and graduate degrees (master's degrees and Ph.D.'s) in electrical engineering and computer science and engineering. EECS focuses on the convergence of technologies and disciplines to meet today’s industrial demands.
