Laptop with camera and headset. A laptop with Windows 11 is highly recommended.

Laptop requirements If you are a Civil Engineering student planning to purchase a laptop or want to check if your current laptop meets the requirements, refer to the system requirements at: https://www.autodesk.nl/products We use several Autodesk applications, such as Civil3D, Infraworks, and Revit. Advice: Do not choose the “Minimum” requirements-preferably go for “Value.” The best (but most expensive) option is “Performance.” If you choose an Apple laptop, make sure you run te Windows operating system on it. Te software will only work in this Windows environment. Apple OS does not work! Note: If you already have a laptop that doesn’t fully meet the requirements, of course, start by using it and see how the software performs.

Protective footwear

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory for certain excursions. A safety vest is often provided by the organizers. A helmet will be supplied by Saxion. You are required to purchase safety shoes yourself. An important requirement is safety class S3: safety shoes or boots with a protective toe cap and closed heel, antistatic properties, energy-absorbing heel, water-resistant upper (up to 60 minutes), and a penetration-resistant midsole. This provides protection against sharp objects piercing the sole.
