Remote Access to Computer Labs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MAE has made computer labs accessible remotely via VPN and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).  Physical access to the labs is limited and capacities are posted at the entrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software available on Lab Computers for Remote Access includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAE LAB Standard Image<\/strong>:
\nAnsys, Catia, EES, EnergyPlus, ESP-r, Fusion360, Grapher, Maple, Matlab, MathCAD, MSC-ADAMS, STK, WinEDT, MS Office 2021, VisioPro, ProjectPro<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other special software is available on specific computers for 4th year projects as needed.  ArcGIS is available from the library but can be installed on the lab computers here if needed and requested.  If you need some special software installed on a lab computer let us know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To access the MAE Lab Computers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Establish a VPN connection. You need an active MyCarletonOne account to connect to Carleton\u2019s VPN.  VPN now requires Azure MFA to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions for VPN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Establish a Remote Desktop Connection. You need an active CUNET account to access the MAE lab computers via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).  When connecting to these computers you must enter your username like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cunet\\yourMC1username<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see which MAE Lab computers are available for use always use this Remote Access Availability Page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/remoteaccess.labstats.com\/Carleton-Mechanical-and-Aerospace-Engineering<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only computers that are not in use will show up on this page.  Windows 10 only allows 1 active session on the computer so always check the availability page before connecting to a lab computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using a Mac computer you will need to install the Microsoft Remote Desktop Application for Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important: Store your files in your Home drive, H: drive or Project Drive P: and not on the Desktop or Documents as those folders are in the local profile and are not saved and will not show up if you login to different computer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are finished working on the lab computer, sign out\/logoff.  Do not just close the RDP window as that doesn\u2019t log you off.  Do not do a Shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CU Virtual Desktop (via VMware Horizon Client)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MAE students have access to Carleton\u2019s Virtual Desktop System.  These are accessed using your MC1 account.  VPN is also required from outside Carleton. In addition to the General Student Lab Image (for all Carleton students) MAE has 2 special images with Engineering Software which uses 3D graphics. Access to these images is based on the course requirements.  If you have a MAC computer which cannot run Catia or other software this is an option to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
