Potter Engineering Center

The computation facilities at Potter has just gone through a major computer upgrade along with the installation of a new air conditioning unit. The Potter computers now consist of three single VAX 11/780's, a dual VAX 11/780, three SUN servers, six SUN workstations, as well as a variety of MacIntosh's, IBM clones, and printers.

Purdue Engineering Research Center serves as a home for many of the interrelated engineering disciplines. The Institute for Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies, IIES, houses the following:

• Automotive Transportation Center
• Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis
• Coal Research Center
• Hillenbrand Biomedical Engineering Center
• Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing
• Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering
• Purdue Laboratory for Applied Industrial Control

Along with these research centers, the Potter building also supports a variety of other studies. These include:

• Cooperative Engineering Center
• Engineering Productions Office
• Continuing Engineering Education
• Purdue Engineering Library
• Turner Laboratory for Electroceramics
• Robotics Laboratory
• CADLAB
• CIDMAC
• Polymer Rheology Laboratory
• Energy Materials Laboratory
• Engineering Research Center for
• Intelligent Manufacturing Systems

The computation services that Potter offers extends beyond its inner walls. We also serve many offices outside of the friendly confines. These are located in Young Hall, Krannert, ENAD, MGL, and FLEX Lab I and II at the Research Park. These include:

• Office of the Dean of Engineering
• Engineering Administrative Offices
• Freshman Engineering
• The School of Interdisciplinary Engineering
• Business and Industrial Development Center
• Technical Assistance Program
• Center for Public Policy and Public Administration

The Purdue Engineering Research Centers has brought in more research funds that any other school at Purdue this year. It is this kind of extended effort that helps make the Schools of Engineering at Purdue University one of the best in the nation.
