Overview

The College of Engineering Technology has various Academic departments. These curriculums use a slew of applications to reinforce teaching outcomes and to prepare our students for their career. Documented here are those applications as well as how to obtain those applications as well as some detail about the licensing of each.

Getting Software

While some software is only licensed in our computer labs or on our faculty workstations, here's a list of software that is available for you to download and install on your personal computers.

All Departments

  • Students using macOS, read here first!
    • The vast majority this software requires a Windows operating system. We would overwhelmingly suggest using a Windows computer.
    • If you'd like to attempt to run Windows on a Mac, we suggest utilizing VirtualBox as a free solution to get a Windows virtual machine set up to utilize these software packages. However, we cannot and do not offer support or assistance with any of these options. 
      • Note: If you have a newer mac, using Apple Silicon, running a Windows virtual machine may not be possible. Your results will vary. You'd also need to install an Arm version of Windows. The vast majority of our software does not run on Arm.
      • https://www.virtualbox.org/
      • For a Windows license, please refer below to Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
  • Adobe Creative Cloud Suite
  • Microsoft Office 365 for Students
  • Microsoft Project & Visio for Students
    • Students have access via Microsoft Azure for Education. You'll log in with your RIT computer account and password.
  • Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
    • Students have access via Microsoft Azure for Education. You'll log in with your RIT computer account and password.

CETEMS - Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Management & Safety

  • ArcGIS/ArcGIS Pro
  • Autodesk Suite
    • Autodesk applications are available to students at no charge.
    • http://students.autodesk.com/
      • Note: Autodesk releases software to the students and public portal before we're able to get it for University use. Double-check the version/s used in your classes/labs.
  • Bentley Suite
    • Bentley for Education Use
    • https://education.bentley.com/
      • Use your RIT email address.
      • You must fill out your profile completely to obtain education licensing.
        • Check the instructions here to understand how to update your profile and you may also watch a YouTube video to understand the process.
          • Go to My Dashboard:
        • If you've filled out your profile completely and continue to have licensing issues (ie. No License or a Trial):
          1. Launch CONNECTION Client.  
          2. From the gear menu in the top right corner, choose Sign Out.
          3. Once more, log in when prompted.
          4. Reboot the computer
          5. Launch the Bentley Licensing Tool, navigate to the Start menu on Windows and launch it.
          6. Please select Refresh Policy from the Tools menu.
        • If you continue to experience a lack of licensing, Bentley support has asked us to have you to Fill out (or re-sumbit/re-save) your profile from a different browser, incognito/private window, and/or a different computer and then try the above 1-6 again. If that doesn't work, read onward.
        • To contact Bentley Educational Support directly:
          • Students should directly contact our team at "educationsupport@bentley.com", they can expect a response within 2-3 days.
          • If there's some sort of escalation and needs a response within 24 hours they can reach out at "education.escalations@bentley.com".
      • Contact us for assistance if you continue to run into licensing issues and we will contact Bentley support on your behalf, but it's best if you contact them directly (See the bullet point above this one)
