MAC's for Engineering

<p>Does anyone have experience with a MAC computer rather than a PC (Dell etc) for engineering, specifically for civil engineer? I am wondering if all required CAE/CAD programs can be run on the MAC's.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ve ever seen a CivE on here, so you might just have to contact the department directly. I know most people have PCs, but that might just be because most people have PCs anyhow. I know engineers who have Macs and they didn’t have to buy a new computer before graduating. Sorry that’s not very helpful.</p>

<p>Thank you again! I will send a note to the department. I do know students in other engineering schools that think a MAC is OK.<br>
I guess I am also wondering if anyone with a MAC has any service / down time issues as well. I know the onsite support for the Dells is supposed to be EXCELLENT!</p>
