Engineering Software Bundle
The Engineering Software Bundle is available to all Speed School students who have paid the technology fee. Software included in the bundle has been selected based on applications commonly needed by all Speed School students. Some departments may use additional software not included in the bundle - such software was not included since it would raise the technology fee for all. In such cases, the software is typically available for access in the departmental labs. Use of the software is made possible by Speed School's subscription to the Student Option of the Microsoft Campus Agreement and agreements with additional software vendors.
The 2008 -2009 Engineering Software Bundle consists of:
Microsoft Campus Agreement Student Option:
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade (32-bit version)
- Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 - Access, Communicator, Excel, Groove, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Word
- Microsoft Project Pro 2007
- Microsoft Visio Pro 2007
Application Software (No connection to server needed):
- National Instrument's Labview Student Edition 8.2
- Maplesoft's Maple 11 Student Edition
- UGS Solid Edge V19
Application Software (Connection to license server needed - limited number of concurrent sessions):
As new versions of the software are released, upgrades are included for enrolled students. Upon leaving Speed School (except for graduation), the engineering software bundle should be removed in accordance to license agreements. Graduating students may continue to use the software, but will not be eligible for further upgrades.
