Never again will students have to make the trek to the ITE building over the weekend to finish up that Matlab assignment. Thank UMBC’s Division of Information Technology (DoIT) for developing a virtual desktop solution that allows students to connect to a standard UMBC computer lab image from their MAC, PC, or iPad.

The virtual desktop is based on a Dell solution named “Virtual Desktop Environment (VDE) and it allows remote access to software like SPSS, SAS, Matlab, Comsol, Mathematica, and more.

To try out the VDE system, visit virtual.umbc.edu.
