We've come a long way from the days when every engineering student carried a slide rule.
Today the essential tools of engineering are found primarily in the computer software and hardware that have been developed extensively in the last two decades.
This trend can only intensify in the future. As an engineer, you can look forward to a future with unprecedented computing power, and you will work on teams with other engineers to tackle increasingly complex engineering challenges.
To develop optimal effectiveness as an engineer - and to master the
demanding curriculum for your discipline - you will need
state-of-the-art computing tools at your fingertips, wherever and
whenever you need it. The Vanderbilt School of Engineering's
Wireless/Wired Laptop Community was developed to give you the tools,
techniques and learning experiences you will need to prepare for your
professional future.
Freedom of mobility; the power of connection: That's the basic idea
behind The Vanderbilt Engineering
system.
We look forward to meeting you - in person as well as in
.
