College of Engineering Student Computing Facilities

Student Computing Facilities

The Engineering Computer Centre maintains 155 computers in six labs for students to use for their studies. In excess of 80 applications are installed providing Engineering applications across all disciplines.

Computer Accounts

All Engineering students have a computer account created for them upon registration in the college. Your username, also known as your NSID (Network Services Identification) will be mailed to you. Your account provides access to Engineering Student Computing Facilities. It is also used by the campus for administrative purpose; most of these activities are available through campus's web portal (http://paws.usask.ca).

Printing Pages

The cost of printing is 10¢ per black and white page and 25¢ per color page.

Getting Help

A Help Desk located in the Beta Lab (room 2B06) provides general assistance to students in the use of our Student Computing Facilities. Go there for assistance with password changes, storage quota increases, print page purchases, etc.
