Software Skills

When students first arrive at CED there are expectations that they have basic knowledge on certain software applications. For example the Office Suite (Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint); image applications (Adobe Acrobat, PhotoShop, and Illustrator); and some specialty software (AutoCAD or ESRI ArcGis).
