Fall 2013 Semester Lab Changes
This information is intended for all staff and faculty requesting software and configuration changes in COEN Windows labs (ERB 3100, ENGR 120 Lab, ENGR 238, ENGR 212, ENGR 312, ENGR 336, MEC103, MEC402). Please communicate this information to department adjuncts as soon as possible for their inclusion in computer classroom/labs configuration.
Several of you have issued new software requests for the upcoming semester. The following are packages that will be upgraded:
Ansys v 14.5
Eclipse
Labview Spring 2013
Wolfram Mathematica 9
Matlab 2013a
Microsoft Office 2013
MobaXTerm
RISA 3D 11.01
A comprehensive list of all software currently available in labs can currently be found at http://coen.boisestate.edu/its/coen-windows-labs-software .
If additional software is required for the Fall 2013 semester, we need the request (and the software) no later than July 12th.
Once classes are in session it is difficult to perform updates on lab machines, as all rooms are heavily scheduled throughout the calendar year. Please review this list and respond with any changes to coenits@cs.boisestate.edu.
