Students in the Myers-Lawson School of Construction will need access to a computer that meets the school's minimum requirements to successfully complete coursework and take advantage of the school's resources. Below, you can find details about computer requirements and recommendations for both the Building Construction and the Construction Engineering and Management degree programs. It's worth noting these programs involve architectural and structural modeling of buildings, as well as 4D construction simulations using tools like Autodesk, Revit, and Navisworks, which require a Windows operating system.
