 ====== Prism ======
-Undergraduate students who are registered to any CSE major course use the “Prism
+[[http://eecs.lassonde.yorku.ca/our-home/labs-and-infrastructure/|EECS Labs]]
-Laboratory” the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
-undergraduate computing Labs. Students are granted an authorised account through
-which they store or print their course related files, use electronic mail facilities, create
-their own web sites. Students access the Unix or Windows workstations in the laboratories through scheduled sessions or first come first serve basis. Prism accounts can also be accessed remotely by dial up, through the Internet via secure connection, or from other designated laboratories on campus including the Jupiter Lab, which is in the same building as our CSE laboratories. Select labs are equipped with printing facilities. Senior students use a variety of specialty laboratories as required. These include the Robotics and Vision, the Digital Systems, the Software Engineering, the Networking and Computer Security, the Integrated Signal Processing and Multi-Media, and the Virtual Reality Laboratories.
-  * The Robotics and Vision Laboratory consists of two CRS robot arms, an autonomous mobile robot, fifteen Unix workstations equipped with multimedia hardware including monocular and stereo video cameras and audio facilities.
-  * The Digital Systems Laboratory provides hands on experience in digital logic design connecting discrete components such as gates, flip flops and registers on integrated circuit chips. Students are also exposed to design on FPGA boards using hardware description languages. It consists of Windows workstations, embedded microcontroller boards, logic analysers, oscilloscopes and other electronic test equipment to provide students with hands on experience on design and implementation of digital and embedded systems.
-  * The Software Engineering Laboratory consists of a project meeting area and a work area with Unix and Windows workstations equipped with modern software development tools to provide students experience with various phases of the software development life cycle such as requirements, analysis and design, implementation, testing, delivery, and maintenance.
-  * The Virtual Reality Laboratory was established to support the study of modern virtual reality systems. It consists of a variety of specialised hardware displays and tracking devices including a large screen passive stereoscopic display, two Phantom Omni haptic devices, immersive audio displays, two head mounted displays and a number of magnetic and inertial motion tracking devices. These displays are supported by a set of high performance Linux workstations and the custom VE software environment developed at York.
-  * The Integrated Signal Processing and Multi-Media Laboratory consist of a number of Digital Signal Processing boards, each contains a processor, memory, and I/O channels with A/D and D/A capabilities. The laboratory is equipped with function generators, oscilloscopes and power supplies. Windows workstations are also available for program development, and simulation.
-  * The Networking and Computer Security Laboratory consists of Windows workstations equipped with specialised software tools and hardware equipment for networking and computer security courses.
-  * The Attack Laboratory is an Internet accessible, IP traffic isolated, virtual lab that allows students to experiment with network configuration, security vulnerabilities, and malware without the risk of infecting the campus network. Students can have administrator privileges and work on complex network topologies, something not possible in a physical lab.
-  * The Digital Media Laboratory consists of workstations equipped with video capturing devices and software suites that are tailored to the development of interactive, media rich applications. This includes various compilers and development environments (e.g., Java, Python, Cycling 74’s Max/MSP, Eclipse) as well as video and image, and audio manipulation suites. The lab is used for classroom instruction, tutorials, student work, and student evaluation (in lab tests).
-All computers in the Department are connected to the campus network backbone,
-providing access to all significant systems and services in the University, as well as
-computers around the world via the Internet.
