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 the M1/M2/M3 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.
- Parallels may be an option: https://www.parallels.com/

- For a Windows license, please refer below to Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
