Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association Supporting Computer Users in Education (ASCUE) (49th, Myrtle Beach, SC, Jun 12-16, 2016)
Purdue Polytechnic has several locations in the state of Indiana offering students a chance to get a Purdue degree. The Computer and Information Technology (CIT) department offers the CIT degree at three sites in Indiana: Anderson, Columbus and Kokomo. CIT offers several potential majors including Cybersecurity, Network Engineering, Systems Analysis. In the general CIT major, students take up to 15 courses that have lab component and require from general software like Microsoft Office to more specialized software such as Unity Pro and Autodesk Maya that are used in a game development class. The classes focus on four areas: networking, programming, systems analysis and programming. In this paper the authors review some no cost options that they have incorporated or plan to incorporate into their labs. [For full proceedings, see ED570898.]
