Printable School of Design Computer Recommendations [Word] A laptop computer is expected for all students in the School of Design. The School recommends laptops for their easy portability between a residence and studio space. This computing flexibility is paired with access to the Warehouse computer lab for major-specific computer courses. During the first year, students will be required and expected to have access to Adobe Creative Cloud and Trimble SketchUp Free. We recommend subscribing to Creative Cloud Student Edition. Syracuse University provides students with Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite. These services are ideal for backup, group work and file sharing. Design Studies Students in the Design Studies program should follow the computing requirements for Communications Design; please see below. Environmental & Interior DesignStudents in the EDI program will need the computing capacity to run Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk AutoCAD, McNeel Rhino 3D (Windows OS), Trimble Sketchup, Autodesk Revit, and rendering plug-ins such as Enscape or Keyshot. The EDI program and Warehouse Lab are set up to principally support computers with a Microsoft Windows operating system. Although in the past it has been possible to run Windows on Macbooks, Apple’s ARM-based Macs (M1) will not support Boot Camp to install and run Windows 10 on the machines. All incoming EDI freshmen should be equipped with computers with a Microsoft Windows operating system to run Windows apps required by the program. We DO NOT suggest a Macbook for EDI students.

Industrial & Interaction DesignStudents in the IID program will need computing capacity to run Students in the IID program typically use computers for various tasks, for example: to research project topics, to work collaboratively, to create posters sharing information, to digitally sketch and render, to model in 3D (CAD-Computer Aided Design) and to visualize renderings and animations. Supporting these design processes needs computing capacity to run applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk products, SolidWorks, Rhino 3D, Gravity Sketch VR and KeyShot. Minimum Guidelines
For digital sketching, it is recommended that students purchase either a Wacom or Huion digital pen tablet to use with their laptop or an iPad. For students that desire a comprehensive all-in-one solution without VR capability, the Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 is the recommended laptop solution that also supports digital sketching.
Industrial & Interaction DesignStudents in the IID program will need computing capacity to run Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk products, SolidWorks, Rhino 3D and KeyShot. Pro is an option. Minimum Guidelines
