This fall, incoming freshmen at Virginia Polytechnic Institute’s engineering school will be given tablet PCs–and will be required to use them in class, the school has announced. As part of a new partnership with Fujitsu Computer Systems and Microsoft, Virginia Tech will be using new Fujitsu LifeBook T4000 computers to change the way its engineering classes are taught, particularly at the introductory level, the school said. It will be among the first engineering schools to institute such a requirement.
