In addition to the required books, the program may list recommended titles on the Brightspace platform. At the beginning of each quarter, the instructor will provide an explanation regarding these materials.

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

If you are a Civil Engineering student planning to purchase a laptop or want to check if your current laptop meets the requirements, please 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” option, preferably go for “Value.” The best (but most expensive) option is “Performance.” If you choose an Apple laptop, you must ensure it runs the Windows operating system. The software will only function properly in this Windows environment. Note: If you already have a laptop that doesn’t fully meet the requirements, you should first try using it to see how the software runs. Specifications for Revit 2024: Windows 64-bit operating system. Apple OS does not work! 16GB RAM. 8GB is the minimum, but 16GB is recommended. Intel i5 to i7 processor. AMD is also acceptable, as long as the clock speed is above 2 GHz for comfortable use. A dedicated graphics card is not required; onboard graphics is sufficient, but the better the performance, the more comfortable the software experience will be. One of the software packages you will work with is Autodesk Revit.

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.
