ece444 uses Microsoft Project Web Access for process scheduling...

Project Web Access (PWA) is used by students of ece444 to help manage their time wisely. It is a central repository for task assignments, a discussion board, a knowledge base wiki, and documentation for the process and equipment.

Connecting to PWA requires the user to be logged into a Windows workstation on campus. Access from off campus requires a VPN connection. For more information on connecting to the departmental VPN server see the instructions on CTS's VPN Service page.

Important Notes about PWA

You may be asked to authenticate using your NetID and Active Directory password when connecting to PWA using a VPN connection.

Your account domain (uiuc) must be specified as follows:

Username:  uiuc\NetID
Password:  AD password

PWA only works in MS Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer.

You will need to download several ActiveX controls in order for PWA to be fully functional.

Other browsers will not work with PWA...

VPN, PWA, and Personal Firewall Issues

If you have problems connecting from off-campus with a VPN connection and are running a personal firewall, you may have to adjust your settings to allow the campus DNS and AD server access to your system. An alternative is to turn off your firewall while working with Project.
