Do people in engineering-related careers use computers?
Definitely! Computers are used for everything from office work such as e-mail and reports to computer-aided manufacturing. Typical activities include computer-aided design, solid modeling, computer simulation of factory layouts and operations, statistical analysis, and writing programs to control a computer controlled (NC) machining center. Computers are vital in today’s manufacturing plants. They control everything from inventory of raw materials to the air-conditioning on the factory floor.
