Should a student decide to purchase an Apple laptop, Apple's Bootcamp for dual-booting the computer must be installed. ID courses will teach the software programs from the Microsoft Windows platform. While some of the programs are available in dual-platform versions (Microsoft Windows and Apple OS), the software may not be organized or set up in the same way for both operating systems. Some of the required software is only available for the Microsoft Windows operating system. ID students will learn a variety of software programs. It is extremely important that students read and understand their responsibilities for the maintenance of their equipment and digital files. Failure to adhere to regular computer maintenance will likely result in system errors and delayed processing time (and, therefore, frustration). Computer technology changes rapidly and it may be necessary to install upgrades to meet expectations in future years of study.Ĭomputers purchased with the minimum requirements will require careful attention to regular systems maintenance, virus protection, and general file management. Because the requirements are updated each year, we STRONGLY encourage students to delay the purchase of laptops until their second year in order to have the most current technology when it is needed to use specific software.īeginning with the 4th semester (in the 2nd year of study), the bulk of student work is computer-based using software programs that demand higher amounts of memory and processor capacity. Interior design students entering the second year of study are required to have their own laptop computer that meets or exceeds the required minimum specifications. Students are responsible for maintaining the digital tools needed for online class attendance to receive instruction and feedback by making sure their computers have the basic requirements listed below to be able to run Zoom, Mural, MS Office, and other basic software. Our program aspires to provide high-quality attention and feedback for both online and in-person participation. Students must be able to use a video camera and mic to communicate with faculty members and other students.
We encourage students to meet these audio/video capacities to be able to record and live stream video so that full participation in online components of courses is possible. The recommended capacities for computers used during the first year emphasize audio/video capability. Because the requirements are updated each year, we STRONGLY encourage first-year students to delay the purchase of a high-level laptop until their second year in order to have the most current technology when it is needed to use specific software. Interior design students entering the first year of study are required to have access to a computer, either laptop or desktop, that meets or exceeds the required minimum specifications listed below. 2022 – 2023 Laptop Requirement for ID program General Note for 1st year Students
