 ECE provides full-time support staff for research computing (as of fall 2016, six full-time staff). Part of the cost of these services, and some pooled costs for network software licenses, are recovered through charge-backs to each ECE research professor based on: the number of PCs on staff-managed networks (tier 1 & 2); number user login accounts on staff-managed servers; and for users without either of these assigned, a modest minimum charge per supervised research group member (grads, postdocs, RAs, techs and visitors/casuals). Each professor is assessed one 'tier 3/wireless only user' fee for each supervisee who is not assigned a billable Tier 1/Tier 2 PC or user login account. (We sometimes refer to this for brevity as a 'tier 3 fee', though it is applicable to any supervisee whether their supervisor does or does not operate a //tier 3 network//.) ECE provides full-time support staff for research computing (as of fall 2016, six full-time staff).
