The short answer is a big YES . Students come on the Engineering Mathematics programmes from a very wide variety of different backgrounds.
Some students come with no experience at all of computers or computer use.
Other students may have as much as ten years experience of computer use, and they may also own a Personal Computer. Computing instruction does not assume any prior knowledge, and the students rapidly converge to a common standard by gaining confidence and experience in supervised laboratories. The computing laboratory is the principal laboratory of the Engineering Mathematician.
