Web & Database

The College of Engineering here at NC State is big. That is a bit of an understatement when you begin to consider all the faculty, students, buildings, equipment, computers, and all the other odds and ends associated with engineering. The last thing anyone in the department needs is something getting complicated and expensive. ITECS has the daunting job of trying to keep the web services here in check.

Infrastructure

Web Lockers are the key to web services here in the College of Engineering. They are provided for various academic departments, student organizations, and research and adminstrative groups. Services are provided free of pop-ups and intrusive ads.

Requests

All requests for new webspace must come through the department webmaster. Websites need to be configured under a specific department domain, or vhost. This funnels everything through to the webmaster so that he or she can coordinate locker locations, locker names, and URL address throughout the site.

Student Organizations

Student organizations are provided with their own vhost, located at students.engr.ncsu.edu. Just like regular lockers, however, they must be owned by a faculty sponser. Most are, however, maintained by various students. This domain is managed by the Engineers Council, and is used to encourage communication through various students and orgainizations.
