HCDE will follow a 4-year computer refresh cycle. Systems should have at least a 3-year warranty (potentially covered by a fee-based extended warranty) and equipment should ideally last 4 years.
Standard staff computing equipment will be a desktop computer selected by the HCDE IT Manager. The department standard is two monitors per desktop workstation. Staff may request to have one monitor.
During a replacement cycle, a staff member may request a laptop or desktop computer. If a laptop is issued a docking station will be provided requested for the employee’s workspace.
NOTE: Any requests for computing equipment, software programs, licenses, or peripherals, must be requested through the HCDE IT Manager (hcde-it@engr.washington.edu).
