Abstract
From 2019, We - Kyushu Institute of Technology started to bring and use students’ laptops (called “BYOD on education”) in some lectures. In the same timing, we have replaced our information systems for education and research use (we call “Education systems”). The new system is turned to support our BYOD environment on education scene. For one thing that, “Application virtualization system” has been adopted. It behaves as “the application was installed on PCs” without some installation procedures. It can be expected to enhance lectures such as some exercise using software. Before providing application virtualization system, some practicality verification is needed. We adopt this system to 30 different software for education and research use. After verification, we judged that 25 of 30 software can be adopting for BYOD environment on education scene.

Summary
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a trend way to bring own information equipment and use for business scene. This is the reason that some performances (CPU speed, RAM capacity etc.) are under spec for information related lectures on a college of technology, so we avoid adopt of BYOD for a long time. In order to educate utilized BYOD smoothly, we think the following should be prepared These are: 1) Information network infrastructure such as Wi-Fi APs, high speed campus network, 2) Web services for education, 3) Comprehensive software licensing and management. Status of these preparations in our institute is below. Major Microsoft products (Windows OS, Office suite, Visual Studio, etc.), endpoint Anti-Virus products, Engineering software (MATLAB, Mathematica) are provided as comprehensive
