Computing
Email and World Wide Web access required for course communications, use of WebCT, and printing of course notes. The course project requires that students develop a software product. The students are permitted/required to choose the language, tools, packaging, etc. that they will use. It is expected that this decision will be based upon in part their access to, and experience with, these items.

Access to WebCT, Rensselaer's course management tool, is required. Please refer to this page for instructions on how to set up your computer for WebCT.
