The EDT systems now synchronise username AND passwords with the 'central' systems.
The synchronising MUST be triggered by an event (i.e. you must request a change.).
To find out how to do this please have a look and the link below:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/lss/it-services/password/
Once you have changed your password it takes between 5 and 30 minutes for it to be synchronised with all the systems so please do not expect an instantaneous change.
Please also have a look at the 'New Student Information' page for details of changes to the printing system.
There are currently emails circulating appearing to originate from the University asking you to confirm your computer account details.
They can be in the form of asking you to reply to the email, or asking you to click on a link within the email to complete a form.
These are malicious spam emails intended to steal your username and password. Please delete them without responding.
Responding to such emails can have a significant impact on the IT services within the University.
The University would never ask you for these details via email.

ICT Information for New Students
Logging On and OFF EDT PCs
The PCs in EDT computer rooms have been set up specifically for use within EDT. Due to various system requirements we run a system that is independent of the LSS IT services systems. We do, however, synchronise Usernames and Passwords between the 2 entities. As a result the logging on process should be very similar.
Press ‘CTRL’, ‘ALT’ and ‘DELETE’ together, as prompted by the screen.
1. In the window that appears you will be asked to input:
|
· Username |
Enter your University of Bradford Username |
|
· Password |
Enter your University of Bradford Password |
|
|
When complete press enter. |
|
NOTE: |
Please ensure that it says ‘Log on to: soe’ below that username and password boxes |
To ‘Log Off’ EDT PCs follow the procedure outlined below:
1. Press ‘CTRL’, ‘ALT’ and ‘DELETE’ together.
2. In the window that appears simply select the 'logoff' button.
OR
1. Click the 'start' button and select 'Log Off'.
NOTE:
1. You MUST Log Off at the end of each session or other people will have access to the work in your directories.
2. You must NOT save work onto the Local Hard Disk Drives (i.e. C:\, D:\). These systems are rebuilt regularly and thus saved work will be lost. If you must save your work on the disk save it in the 'C:\scratch' directory and then copy it to your network directory or other media before you logoff.
3. If you have any problems logging onto EDT computer systems please contact the EDT ICT Support Team (see Getting Help with ICT Issues).
Printing Facilities
EDT uses the same print management system as LSS, a summary is provided below.
(For further information please got to the link: http://www.bradford.ac.uk/lss/it-services/print/index.php)
1. Credit your account via the pay station in any of the libraries
2. Login to the machine with your student ID card and Library PIN to either photocopy or select the job you want to print
Outside C1-25 (Colour); Outside C2.32 (Colour); Outside B2-30 (Mono);
Outside B3-30 (Colour) and inside C3-09a (Mono).
You can also print to the photocopiers in the libraries, as well as using the LSS self-service printers. A4 and A3 print jobs can be submitted to the photocopiers. The devices can print both black and white and colour print jobs. To send print jobs:
· For Monochrome printing choose: EDT-STU-BLK-A3A4-D or Library Printer
· For colour printing choose : EDT-STU-CLR-A3A4-D or Library Printer Copier
Printing will default to duplex (double-sided) and photocopying will default to single-sided, unless otherwise specified.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) team provide IT services appropriate to the School of Engineering, Design & Technology in teaching and research activities, supported by regular renewal and enhancement.
Services include: a high quality physical infrastructure (networks, servers, computer clusters, etc.); support of individual desktops, teaching and research clusters; file storage; print services, remote file access and WEB services.
What you must do First
The very first thing you MUST do before you can use any of the computing facilities on campus or in the EDT is to complete the enrolment process.
As part of this process you should be given a Student ID card, a username, an e-mail address and you should also set your own password.
Please have a look at our 'New Student Information' and 'Facilities' pages for important information.
Please check the ICT News page for important information too: ICT News

As one of the largest users of computing equipment on the campus the School of Engineering, Design & Technology boasts a considerable number of desktops for student use.
The main computing suite is based in the Chesham building where we have in excess of 250 PCs configured with that applications necessary for course delivery and student project work.
Our secondary site is in the Richmond Laboratory Block, and as the name would suggest, these are more 'specific' machines required for demonstartions and interactions with many of the peripheral electronic kits (e.g. robot programmers) used for course delivery and project work.

Print – Copy and Scanning Facilities
The school has several Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) in various locations (see below). These devices can be used for printing to; photocopying and ‘scanning to e-mail’ (i.e. you scan a document and the device will e-mail you a PDF or jpeg version of the scan).
All EDT undergraduate computers should have 2 print queues configured:
EDT-STU-BLK-A3A4-D : for mono MFDs which are in:
Chesham C1 Break-out Area
Chesham C2 Break-out Area
Chesham B2 Break-out Area
Chesham C3-09a
EDT-STU-CLR-A3A4-D for colour MFDs which are in:
Chesham C1 Break-out Area
Chesham C2 Break-out Area
Chesham B3 Break-out Area
If you want to print mono (Black & White) only select the BLK queue.
If you want to print colour select the CLR queue.
Once you have sent your print job to the queue it will remain for up to 24 hours at which time it will be automatically deleted or until you 'PULL' it from the queue.
Please refer to the UoB LSS Printing Guides for a detailed guide.

Our postgraduate students benefit from working in a first class, well-equipped research environment. We attract students from around the world and have enjoyed funding from grant-awarding bodies in the UK and EU, often in partnership with industry. Our staff enjoy an international reputation, confirmed by our results in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Whether you are studying an MSc, MPhil or PhD, you will have the opportunity of working in leading areas of electronics and telecommunications engineering. We invite prospective MSc, MPhil and PhD students and their sponsors to visit us and see some of the latest facilities for teaching and research . Further details of post-graduate opportunities and application procedures, both taught and by thesis, are available at this link.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Bradford supports a vibrant, supportive and productive postgraduate community. The size of our research group ensures that the number of postgraduate research students is large enough to ensure a lively, interesting and diverse postgraduate community where you will find other students working on related fields. We consider postgraduates integral to maintaining our healthy research culture.
The three-year PhD is the established route into academic and research careers, although it is also increasingly seen as an exceptional qualification for individuals pursuing other professional positions. All of our staff are active researchers and we are pleased to welcome suggestions of your own. We encourage you to contact staff directly to discuss potential ideas and we can assist in the development of a topic. More details on staff research interests and recent and ongoing research projects can be found on the staff web pages.
Are you having problems with viruses? Random shutdowns, Internet slowing down with no explanation?
You might be getting pop-ups suggesting you’re infected and offering to clean your system for a fee. So called ‘fake’ virus checkers are rife, and often carry other infections that hand control of your system to a 3rd party. Don’t rely on ‘free’ virus checkers.
We can check your system and install a virus checker for £50. 3 pcs or laptops for £100.
As we are a School for Engineering, Design and Technology we have quite a large portfolio of leading edge applications that are used as part of the studies undertaken on virtually all of the courses run in EDT.
Many of these applications are also market leaders and as such represent the tools that many graduates will be expected to use when they start their postgraduate careers.
