The CECS Department has a variety of computing equipment and laboratories
available for instruction and research. These facilities are currently being
enhanced,  in conjunction with computing laboratories maintained
by the college and by the campus. The computing facilities offer students 
a wealth of opportunity to access and utilize a wide range of equipment
best suited for their research needs.  All of the
equipment is connected to departmental, college, campus, and global
networks which provides ready access to the exploding world of information
and computational resources.

A wealth of library resources are available through the extensive collections
of books and journals housed in the Engineering and Mathematical Sciences
libraries as well as collections in the Main Library and Health Sciences
Libraries at MU. 

The University of Missouri is a Research I university enrolling some 22,000 
students.  The University offers programs in many areas, ranging from
sciences and engineering to psychology, neuroscience, education, biology, 
medicine, law, agriculture, and journalism.
