Abstract

Computers should provide the mechanism that enables engineers to do better engineering. By permitting faster and more accurate and complete problem analysis to be performed, computers assist the engineer in his computational and decision making roles. The engineer today is faced with problems of increasing magnitude and complexity where the effects and interrelationships of all relevant information must be considered. The computer provides the coordinating and integrating mechanism for the problem information needed by the engineer in the decision making process. Computers enable engineers to perform total problem solutions where all pertinent information is properly considered.
