Welcome to the Engineering Computing Facility home page. ECF provides a variety of computing services for teaching and research within the Faculty, as well as offering support for departmental computers and computer communication throughout the Faculty. ECF has three networks accessible to the Faculty from hundreds of terminals. Every undergraduate and graduate student in the Faculty is entitled to an ECF account, and relatively few constraints are placed on the usage of the system. The intention is to have the computing system used as often as the student requires it in his or her studies, just as one might use a library or other communal resource.
Normally, access is by terminals on campus. While students are not required to have their own computers, it is recognized that many do, and facilities are provided to transfer data to and from the ECF system so that personal and University computers can complement each other.
