Wireless Laptops in the Department of Design and Human Environment (DHE)

Wireless Laptops

The Oregon State University Department of Design and Human Environment in the College of Health and Human Sciences are pleased to announce a commitment to using state-of-the-art wireless technology to enhance and expand our teaching-learning environment.

Milam Hall and a number of other buildings on the OSU Main Campus now offer wireless connectivity. This commitment to wireless supports one of the Department's major goals -- developing extraordinary "work-ready" graduates for the 21st century. We are committed to promoting advanced technology and using it to develop a more engaging and innovative learning environment.

Students with wireless laptop computers will have instant and continuous access to the Internet, email, and curricular materials.

Because laptops are now required for students in the Professional Programs in DHE, the cost of a wireless laptop will be automatically considered in the financial aid package offered to students.

The Department of Design and Human Environment does not require a specific wireless laptop because of the dynamic and diverse character of the computer marketplace. Rather, we encourage students to make their own choices of specific manufacturer and configuration. We have established minimum requirements as guidance.

For the computer intensive applications used by DHE majors, we recommend a laptop computer that exceeds these minimum requirements. Naturally, the performance of a laptop depends on the processor and amount of RAM installed. Students who already have a laptop computer may simply add a wireless card.

We suggest you shop around for the best pricing on laptop computers that meet the minimum requirements. Reliability and support should be strongly considered in your decision. There are many sources of independent laptop evaluation available on the internet, and you should also seek recommendations from current laptop users.

The ONID printing system allows students on campus to print to selected printers on campus from your laptop. Like printer use in computer labs, there is a small variable fee (depending on page size) for prints. You will need to download and install the printer driver first, from http://www.hp.com. The directions here show how to connect to an ONID printer but remember to load the driver first.
