EEL 4924 students:

You can get a lot of free Microsoft software (including Office, Windows 7 or 8, Visio, Project, Visual Studio, etc.), as discussed in today's class, because you are an engineering student (or taking an engineering class, like IMDL). UF's Engineering MSDNAA website has some info about the program, but you probably do NOT need this information.

To request an account, go to the following website.

If you are not in a college of engineering department, add the following in the comments: "I am taking EEL 4924, a course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department, and request access to the Dream Spark website."

Go to the below link for Microsoft's Dream Spark in order to download the Microsoft software.
