Software Catalog

The Chemical Engineering Department provides access to multiple software packages to supplement software provided by the University and other departments. Department provided software can be downloaded directly from the pages in this list. University provided software should be downloaded from the Computing Services Software page. 

Most software can be installed on personal computers. Additionally, many packages are available in the Computer Lab (DH A226), on  Remote Desktop (Everyone) or on the "ChemE Lab" pool (Undergrads ONLY) on Virtual Andrew

Older versions or archival software can be found on the   Software Share. The Software Share is a Windows-based share located on department server "cheme-software." You will need a Chemical Engineering account to access this share. Additionally, this share is only available while directly connected to the campus network through the Remote Desktop or the Campus VPN.

Available Software

This list includes software packages commonly used in Chemical Engineering. It does not include a comprehensive list of University provided software. For that last see the Computing Services Software page.
