The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology chose HP hardware that matches the engineering school’s requirements and increased productivity.
Engineering and science coursework is notoriously difficult, with an endless barrage of equations, formulas and methodologies to study and review. At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, students and faculty rely on HP to make learning easier and the learning environment better integrated.
Since 1994, each incoming freshman has received a notebook PC. For its latest class, the school wanted a highly durable notebook PC with faster processing speeds and improved graphics capabilities. After reviewing and testing several notebook PCs, the school chose the HP nw8440 Mobile Workstation.
Louis Turcotte, vice president of IAIT, Rose-Hulman, calls the HP mobile workstation “a robust and durable mobile computer with all the requirements in place.”
Objective:
Rose-Hulman needed powerful computer technology to meet the needs of faculty, current students and incoming freshmen.
Approach:
The school outfitted several classrooms with HP Compaq Tablet PCs and acquired HP Mobile Workstations for incoming freshmen.
IT improvements:
• Durability and reliability help extend product life
Business benefits:
• Increased productivity for faculty and students
