Situated on the Sir George Williams Campus in the heart of downtown Montreal, The Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering is located in the Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated (EV) Complex. In the EV Building, there is space for all, including faculty and staff offices, labs, lounges and dedicated graduate studies rooms. Four state of the art labs comprise the teaching and research resources - Engineering Design and Manufacturing Lab, Flight Simulator Lab, CIM Lab, and the Concordia Silicon Microfabrication Lab.
Computing facilities for teaching are provided by the centralized IT (AITS) services of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. In the Faculty, over 1600 PC's are integrated in a gigabit Network, in addition to a 16 terabyte NAS file server, numerous "Services" and "Application" servers, and a modern HPC Cluster with 464 compute cores and 128 visualization cores. For graduate teaching, there are about 300 desktops available in 26 computer labs and 4 project rooms in the EV building. All systems are dual boot Linux/Windows (XP), with general Microsoft tools provided by the current Campus agreement and other special engineering applications (AutoCAD, Matlab, Rational Rose, etc.) necessary to satisfy the teaching mission. The software is updated every term and the systems are monitored closely.
