Laptop Requirements for Engineering & Computer Science Students

Laptop

Engineers know that to do the work, you need the right tools. The digital tools we teach you to use require a lot of computing power. We provide some classroom computers, but you are required to have your own laptop to fit your degree program’s needs.

Laptops sold from our Technology Partners are approved and will be supported by SEAS IT. Check out the details below to get tech-ready for your Gonzaga experience. If you have questions, please contact SEASIT@gonzaga.edu.
