Facilities
Students in the Fuel Science program have access to the excellent experimental
and computational laboratories of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences,
including state-of-the-art analytical facilities at the Energy Institute
and the Materials Research Institute.
All students have access to a networked system of thin-wire-served PCs, to a Unix Laboratory of networked SparcStations, and to a variety of computing facilities on campus. All graduate students have the option of having a PC on their desk.
