Hardware: In order to run AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks software, students need a computer with Windows 10 or newer operating system; CPU of 3.3 GHz or higher; 8 GB of RAM, with 16 GB recommended; 30 GB free disk space for download and installation, plus 500 GB or more storage; graphics card capable of 24-bit color and DirectX 11 compliant, such as Nvidia Quadro series, AMD FirePro series, or AMD Radeon series; at least two USB ports; and an external mouse. (A computer with Mac OS can run AutoCAD software, but not Revit or SolidWorks.) A limited number of laptops are available on loan from the LCC Student Helpdesk. In addition, students need a way to store backup copies of all files, such as a flash drive, external hard drive, or cloud service.
Connectivity: Students need a reliable internet connection; a browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox; and a robust antivirus and firewall product such as McAfee or Norton, kept up to date.
Software: Students need Microsoft Office, with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, available free to LCC students. Students will need the current version of AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks software and will get instructions in classes for downloading free educational versions.
