The latest technologies available from Apple are right here at MSOE in the Gene Carter Apple Technologies Learning Suite in the Rader School of Business. The learning suite is outfitted with iMac computers, iTouch mobile devices, iPad tablets and Apple TV digital streaming technology. In addition, the classroom layout is designed to allow for small group collaboration. The modular concept is intended to capitalize on Apple’s mobile technology and includes global multi-media connections that allow students and faculty to connect live audio and video to any place in the world.

Students in the technical communications program and MSOE’s Rader School of Business use the new technology in their promotions/advertising and desktop publishing classes. Software engineering students use the space for a mobile programming course featuring Apple’s iOS.

The facility was made possible thanks to a generous donation from Dr. Gene P. Carter ‘60, MSOE Regent Emeritus and alumnus. "Gene Carter has led a very successful career at Apple Computer and with his own companies. We are proud to call him an MSOE alumnus," said Dr. Hermann Viets. "We are grateful for the continued dedication Gene and his wife Patricia have shown to MSOE." Carter was vice president of sales and a member of the original Apple Computer Inc. management team from 1977 to 1984 and has worked successfully as a private investor in electronics start-up companies and real estate partnerships since leaving Apple.
