<p>Aggiecorps, follow the link kldat posted above for A&M’s new laptop requirements. My son recently got a new computer which was before the engineering department requested certain computer models. His laptop is not the Dell or the Mac models engineering requested. I spoke to the Engineering Department at A&M and they said his computer will be fine. They told me to wait to purchase any software until school starts since students receive a big software discount. </p>
<p>As far as the calculator, A&M does not require a certain model however it has been suggested to get the TI-89. On the packaging it does say it is for engineering courses. I had also considered the TI-Nspire. </p>
