We have come a long way since then and remain one of the most technically advanced undergraduate institutions in the world. Computing at West Point only starts with the cadet computer . The entire campus is networked. Every barracks room, every classroom, every laboratory and every office has high-speed access to West Point's network. In addition the Academy has multiple high-speed connections to the Internet.
Networked computers support every lab.
Cadets use E-mail, web sites, IM, databases and other computer technology to be more effective leaders. Not only do cadets have their own computers, but they each have their own file server space and web page on our two huge IBM Netfinity servers. Cadet's introduction to technology starts during New Cadet Training. They are introduced to the features they will find on their new when they get them in August. During this course they learn the basics of information technology and programming.
