ENAC

IC

SV

Engineering (general)

• OS: whatever, the few programming courses often have an installation tutorial for Windows
• CPU: min 4 cores
• RAM: 8 GB “enough”, 16 GB more comfortable
• Storage: 256 GB seems like a bare minimum that can quickly fill up
• Graphics card: a priori not necessary, unless large 3D applications or large machine learning planned (but in general EPFL provides clusters for the calculation…)
