Home Directories

All students taking courses in the College of Engineering are granted a home directory. This is also the case for all Faculty and Staff in the College of Engineering. 

You can access your home directory by browsing to the following UNC path (see the above section entitled ‘Terminology and Usage’ for more information):

\\coe-fs.engr.tamu.edu\<role>

You should replace <role> with your particular role as follows:

• Undergraduate students should use ugrads

• Graduate students should use grads

• Staff members should use staff

• Faculty members should use faculty

Quotas

In order to ensure that the Isilon storage cluster does not run out of space, quotas are enforced for each role. The quotas for each role are as follows:

• Undergrads - 10GB

• Grads - 50GB

• Staff - 30GB

• Faculty - 250GB

Course Areas

Course Areas are directories that are created for each College of Engineering course for instructors, TAs, and students. Instructors and TAs are able to write to directories in the Course Areas, while students are only able to read. Course Areas provide a means for instructors and TAs to hand out course information and materials to students.

TAs and Instructors are able to write to this directory, no one else can read from it.

Research Areas

Research Areas are directories granted to each researcher in each department of the College of Engineering and are used for research collaboration and storage. If you are a faculty researcher, you already have access to a research directory, but you will need to contact your Engineering IT representative to have your students added.
