Step 1) Create an account

If you are eligible, create a CAEDM account. You may not use any college computing resources until you create a CAEDM account and agree to the policy.

Step 2) Computer labs

A CAEDM lab located in Crabtree room 450

After creating an account, you will receive the lab door code for the four CAEDM labs:

  • 102 Engineering Building
  • 207 Engineering Building
  • 425 Clyde Building
  • 450 Crabtree Building

Step 3) Using a CAEDM computer

The programs you need to complete coursework will be in the start menu; searchable by typing the program name. CAEDM also uses remote computing resources such as RGS and Citrix. You will need to become familiar with RGS and Citrix to access software from outside the CAEDM Labs. Printing on CAEDM computers uses special software unique to our system. Only one printer will appear in the printer selection. You will need to learn to use the CAEDM Print Driver.

We highly recommend you watch these two videos to get started.
