MyLab

The College of Engineering is pleased to offer MyLAB to our students. It provides you access to all Engineering XenApp Applications as well as My Engineering Data from any high-speed internet connection. When using MyLab your session remains open for 30 minutes. This means you can disconnect from the current MyLab session you are in, and you will have 30 minutes to log back into MyLab to continue your session. After 30 minutes of disconnection from MyLab, your session will end and all data not saved to a network drive or USB device will be deleted.
