The Joint-Computer classroom is an innovative advanced teaching classroom where every student has a desktop Pentium computer. The hardware for this classroom was provided by the Special Instruction and Learning Group of the CIS University of Pittsburgh. The grant for this JCC Room was obtained originally by Professor David N. Beratan (Chemistry) and Professor V. Martin (Physics) in 1995. The chairman of the SWILG committee at that time was Professor Arnie.
In
January of 2003 the JCC was moved from the 1st floor of Chevron Science Center to the 2rd
floor of the newly renovated Eberly Hall. In September
of 2006 the JCC was moved to room 206 of Eberly Hall. The
JCC now has 30 Dell Optiplex 2.4 GHz Quad Core PCs
with 100 Mb Ethernet networking. B&W printing is provided via a Samsung
network printer.
The original classroom had 20 Pentium 90 MHz computers and 10 Power Mac 7200/90's. The software was served by a HP LC 100 Pentium 100 MHz Novell Netware 4.11 Server, often referred to as the JCC-SERVER. This was also the intranet server for this classroom. The classroom had two printers one was an HP 5MP for black and white printing with postscript support, another was HP DeskJet 620, and inkjet printer for color printing. The printer support was provided by an external HP JetDirect Box and using the print queues on the JCC-SERVER. These computers where upgraded to AMD K6 266 MHz processors with USB compatible motherboards. They had an astonishing 64MB of SDRAM and a huge 3.2 GB hard disk.
The
main purpose of this classroom is to teach modern chemistry and physics using
computational packages available, and provide exposure to the students (mainly
undergraduates) to the application of computer software.
If
you are interested in teaching in the JCC, then the following steps are
required in gaining access to it:
· First Step is to examine the existing software list to determine if the software you need for your course is currently installed on these computers, if it is not please contact Chemistry Electronics Shop ( Dave Emala) to determine if the software you need can be installed on these computers. Please DO NOT install any applications without prior approval.
·
Second Step is to contact the Assistant
Chairman of the Chemistry Department or Physics Department, if you are from
Chemistry or Physics, to find an available time slot and scheduling that time
slot for your course. You can view the scheduling calendar for the JCC lab at http://cwt4.chem.pitt.edu:8081/jcc/ for
available times.
· Third Step is to make sure that you have the code number to enter the room and either you or your teaching assistant is present during your teaching/recitation.
Presence
of the Faculty or the Teaching Assistant for the course, OR the open room
teaching assistant is mandatory, if students need to use the classroom. NO
undergraduate student will be allowed in the room without the physical presence
of any of the above.
