MATLAB access info (thanks to Damon Fitzgerald) Students can acess MATLAB from any computer by accessing e-labs through FIU UTS website: https://elabs.fiu.edu/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/login2.aspx The set up depends on web browser and OS but it's pretty straight forward. Any FIU student with internet access and a Panther ID can access this service. |
