PC Classrooms have an instructor station PC, and also provide student PCs running Windows for use by Lehigh faculty, staff, and students.
Fritz 605 -- Full Details and Instructions
Facility Type(s):
These are registrar-scheduled classrooms which are equipped with an instructor station PC and a projector with a large screen or a large-screen display visible from all points in the room. Often, they are equipped with additional features, such as VCRs, DVD players, document cameras, etc.
These sites are essentially LTS Computing sites that have additional software and hardware to support computer-aided design (CAD) work. The additional software titles include AutoDesk's AutoCAD and a number of supporting applications, as well as Solidworks, SAS, ANSYS, Abaqus, ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop, and QGIS. The hardware for these machines also includes a higher-end video card and a larger hard drive for temporary file storage.
Just as with the regular Computing Sites, be sure to be familiar with Using Computers and LTS Computing Sites and Classrooms.
