Studio Computing

Last Updated: 2.26.2009
The studio environment gives students a chance to learn about the benefits of working in a networked environment. From working with team based projects to integrating the internet into their design students are able to use technology to enhance the traditional design sequence. Beginning in the 3rd year, students enrolled in the studio will be required to provide their own computers and software. Minimum recommendations are:
Laptop Specifications |
Desktop Specifications 4- 6 GB RAM memory 200 GB HDD |
Software Office 2007 Professional AutoCad 2009 Student Edition 3d Studio Max 2009 Adobe CS3 Google Sketchup |
Please note that the specifications on this page are taken from the Recommended Specifications for our most complex software programs one of which are listed on this page under the software section (above right). Students are not required to purchase machines with these exact specifications; however these specifications should be used as a guide for determining what to look for.
Some of the recommended software can be found at discounted rates by searching for academic priced software though any search engine.
