Ordering Computing Equipment

We will provide full support for the systems purchased through Civil & Environmental Engineering Computing. If systems are purchased outside of the specifications, we can only provide limited support and must charge required service at an hourly rate. Each person/group has varying needs to meet their specific requirements.  We recognize that these needs change as dynamically as industry product technology, availability and vendor stock.  Please contact us to discuss which system will best suit your needs and to get a quotation and proceed with a purchase.

For personally owned systems, please contact the Campus Tech for repair or other hardware services.

Graduate students' purchase requests have to be approved by their supervisor.
