The METER and HPC labs have moved to our new location in ETC 2.126, right next to the T-Room. The new phone number is (512) 471-6362. See the METER staff page for contact information.

We provide computational resources to the faculty, staff and students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Our primary focus is to support the course related activities of our faculty and students. Users must have an ME account, available to ME majors, students in ME courses, faculty, staff, and visitors who have an active affiliation with the ME Dept.

Our computing resources include: a general purpose lab with over 80 computers running the latest engineering Software and a High Performance Computing lab with 11 Ubuntu Linux workstations. Black and white as well as color printers, plotters, and transparency printers are also available in the computing lab.

Do you need to access any of the METER programs from home, work, school, or when you are out of town? Are you a distance education student who is always out of town? The Mechanical Engineering Department Application Servers now offer a way to access programs from your own computer at home, at work, or at school..

The Mechanical Engineering Department Multimedia Resources Office provides multimedia support to all persons associated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin from 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Multimedia support includes equipment check-out, equipment repair, equipment upgrades, end-user training, and immediate response to end-user needs.

ETC Building has both wired and wireless network coverage available throughout the building. All network ports in public areas require UT EID authentication.
