Resources and Services
Software is at the heart of the technology experience for students in their time at Swanson, playing a varying role in everything they do here. The SSoE Technology Group delivers these resources to our students to ensure they are equipped with all of the tools necessary to take on the rigorous Swanson School curriculum.
The Swanson School has 27 advanced technology classrooms spread across Benedum Hall. Students in every department will take multiple classes in these rooms throughout their academic experience here at Swanson. The rooms are specifically designed to promote teamwork and collaboration amongst students and stimulate faculty-student interaction. Equipped with bleeding edge technology in instructor controls, audio visual systems and engineering software, these computing classrooms serve as a enormous asset to students throughout their time at Swanson.
The Swanson School uses FourWinds ® digital signage software to display announcements across Benedum Hall, the MCSI Annex, Gardner Steel Conference Center, and the Center for Bioengineering. FourWinds ® is the University of Pittsburgh enterprise digital signage package, enabling students to promote events, meetings, and other important information all across campus.
