* Modules Environment, Environment Modules, a software tool designed to help users manage their Unix or Linux shell environment
* Modula-2 or Modula-3, programming languages which stress the use of modules

Computer hardware

* Computer module, an early packaging technique that combined several electronic components to produce a single logic element
