College of Engineering and Technology Computer Requirement. The College of Engineering and Technology uses Virtual Computing Laboratories for instruction.  All students enrolling for courses in the College of Engineering and Technology must have a laptop computer that meets standard university networking and hardware configuration requirements. Due to the complex requirements of engineering and technology-related software, we require laptops with more advanced configurations than those required by the university as a whole. Our laptop specifications may be found on our website at https://cet.wcu.edu
