Information Technology and Communications Center (ITC)

The ITC is open to students, faculty, and staff while classes are in session. Students in all disciplines are encouraged to use the facility as a normal part of their course work. The center provides computer access to any regularly New Mexico Tech matriculated student who requests it, subject to ITC regulations and the New Mexico Tech Computer Usage Policy. Each user is given an e-mail address and access to the Internet, as well as an initial storage space. The ITC has a wide range of scientific software available.

ITC operates a network of Linux, Macintosh, and Windows workstations. At the time of publication, there are more than 300 workstations, all equipped with color screens, on the academic network. In addition, there are PC labs connected to a Samba server on the campus network. There are also several computer classrooms with computers and integrated projection systems. Several labs have scanners, and all are connected to the network printing system.

The campus network is connected to the National Science Foundation Internet II nationwide computer network. The network connection gives Tech access to other New Mexico colleges, Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories, and thousands of other sites worldwide.

In addition to the facilities found in the ITC there are many other computer systems on campus used in conjunction with departmental programs and funded research.

The ITC is an integral part of major research projects at Tech. Students and faculty who desire to use of the facilities are encouraged to contact the director of the center at 575.835.5735 or via email at help@nmt.edu.

ITC also offers free classes each semester to acquaint students with how to use the Tech Computer Center (TCC) and the World Wide Web.
