Excerpt from the Old Dominion University 2000-2002 Catalog (Page 149)

Special Requirement

"The computer and the Internet are essential elements in today's educational environment and this trend will continue in the years ahead. While the University provides many computer facilities on campus, the department (Engineering Technology) has implemented many new initiatives that make it impractical for a student to accomplish all computer-related assignments on campus. Therefore, all engineering technology majors are expected to either own a personal computer or have ready access to a computer along with Internet access."

Note #1 from Mr. Jones:

The university has agreements with Gateway and Dell computer for special student pricing. Call computer services for details or go to the computer services link on the ODU homepage.

Note #2 from Mr. Jones:

Check with your ET department advisor before buying a computer to ensure that you get the correct system.

Note #3 from Mr. Jones:

Beware! This department has had very poor success with America On-Line (AOL) interfacing with our on-line courses.
