HP Grant Provides Mobile Classroom Technology That Enhances Curricula, Inspires Students

Overview

Technology is vitally important to Tecnologico de Monterrey's curriculum. It was the first university in Mexico to link to the Internet, and as recently as 2002 about half of all the country's Internet traffic passed through Tecnologico de Monterrey servers. Nowadays, Tecnologico de Monterrey's infrastructure, Campus Toluca, includes a campus-wide network with about 350 HP Compaq Business Desktop PCs and xw series workstations where extra processing power and speed are needed, 40 HP printers, plus a wireless network to support a variety of academic and administrative applications. Using a Blackboard software application, students can access course information from virtually anywhere on the university grounds.
