Software

The University and the College of Engineering Technology Services (ETS) offers a variety of software applications available to students, faculty, researchers, and staff. These applications may be accessed as either Hosted by the college or a site-licensed.

ETS provides software hosted on our systems available for use by instructors and students. This software can be accessed in via the COE Virtual Desktop, or via our Computer Labs.

COE Virtual Desktop

The COE Virtual Desktop is a fully remote option that can be accessed vial almost any device that has access to the internet, and provides some of the most popular and resource-intensive applications in a high-powered computing environment. It only takes a few minutes to setup and is a great option for anyone wanting to use these applications.
