Computing Resources

All College of Engineering students are required to own a laptop. Please review the college and university requirements for new students enrolling in fall 2023 or beyond. 

Numerous computer engineering applications are available for engineering students to install on their laptop, some at no cost and some at minimal cost. Engineering students can access the hundreds of Engineering apps using Mosaic’s MosaicAnywhere from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

Mosaic Computing

The Mosaic Computing web pages contain information on the computing systems, infrastructure, and resources developed and supported by the Engineering Computing organization. These services are available to all College of Engineering members on Mosaic systems. Users can also remotely access the Mosaic system via Mosaic Anywhere. The overall system, as well as many of its components, are commonly referred to as the Mosaic System or just “Mosaic.”

The Mosaic website also contains valuable information for faculty, staff and students pertaining to their personal computers. The Mosaic Computing Support offices are located in Smith 249 and Epic 1245.
