Computer and Software Requirements
College of Engineering requirements
The College of Engineering requires that all engineering students have access to a mobile
(notebook) computer for engineering courses in order to be able to function in the current
learning environment. Starting Fall 2001, some engineering courses will require the use of
mobile computers for coursework. Students are required to access electronic forms of information,
submit assignments and communicate with other students and faculty electronically. Please check
