    General questions and contact for ECES and ECE computer labs

    The ECES Student Server is maintained by the ECE Department's system administrators.

    The best way to contact them is to send e-mail to ecehelp@colorado.edu

    You can also reach them at (303)492-1290 or visit them in ECEE 1B10A.

    The ECE system administrators are currently:
    Matt Lessem System Administrator
    Amanda Brodbeck Student Assistant
    Mike Killian Student Assistant

    However, if you stop them in the hall to ask them questions, you may inadvertently interrupt an urgent trip to class, the bathroom, or somewhere equally important. You may, therefore, not get the best or most complete answer to your question. It is highly recomended that important issues be brought to their attention via e-mails to ecehelp@colorado.edu. This way they all get a chance to look at your questions and comments and treat them with the care and diligence they deserve.

    Questions regarding specific pieces of software or computer-related lab or class assignments

    Any questions regarding the use or operation of specific software required or utilized in class and lab assignments should be directed to the Professor and/or TA(s) for that course.

    ECE system administrators do not necessarily know how to utilize the extremely wide variety of software installed in the ECE computer labs and are neither qualified, empowered, nor responsible for training individuals in the use of this software.

    Remote and home access to ECES and ECE computer resources

    Information on CU-Boulder's modem pool for dial-up internet access can be found here:
    www.colorado.edu/its/docs/connect.html
    Or by contacting ITS at (303)735-HELP.

    Using virtual private networking (VPN) software will allow any internet connected computer to access CU computer and network resources as if it were an on-campus computer. Information on connecting to CU-Boulder's VPN can be found here:
    vpn.colorado.edu

    Both of the above services require a CU Identikey and Password.

    If you are already connected to the internet but have trouble accessing the ECES Student Server, please contact ecehelp@colorado.edu.
