The computer has become an indispensable tool for imparting education in all the branches of engineering. The place of a computer in modern education is not just limited to computer programming or browsing the world wide web or typing up assignments. Whether it is the EEE students using SPICE tools for simulation of electronic circuits, or the ECE students using MATLAB for simulation of communication circuits and systems, or CS/IT students using Eclipse IDE for application development, or ME students using ANSYS for component development, or ChE students using ASPEN for simulation of chemical engineering processes, computers have become an integral part of the daily routine of a serious technical student. The RVR & JC College of Engineering clearly understands the importance and hence built up a significant number of well-furnished computer labs.
The college has 18 computer labs with an aggregate total of 2000 computers in them. The computers in these 18 labs are periodically updated or replaced with the latest computers. With an annual computer hardware budget of more than Rs. 60 lakh, providing the latest computing resources to the faculty and students is a top priority for the college management.
The college also has a computer centre in the City Office with an installed capacity of 134 systems. The city computer centre serves to fulfill the needs of the RVRJCians in the evenings and on holidays. Remedial lab work, extra-labs, and professional software training classes are frequently conducted in the city computer centre.
The usefulness of a computer is significantly enhanced by its connection to the network and Internet. The significant advantage of a networked computer is that it can use services provided by much more powerful computers called Servers. The college has a total of 18 high-end servers from HP Computers. These servers provide data storage, internet access, e-mail, and course management services to the campus community.
