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.

    2. In the main window click on the GO button under “Student Remote Access” which will bring up a list of the lab computers.
    3. On the next page click on the right-most icon to connect to an available computer.
    4. A window should appear asking to open a .rdp file with the chosen computer name. Regardless of what browser you are using, when it asks what you want to do with the file, choose open. If it automatically goes to your download folder then simply double-click it to launch.

    6. You should now be prompted to give your RIT username and password to gain access to the computer. When doing so make sure to include MAIN\ in your username otherwise it won’t connect. ex: MAIN\abc1234 You will need to enter your credentials twice, once for the RD Gateway and once for the computer itself.
