Many engineering technology students work in positions requiring familiarity with engineering analysis as well as design. They are asked to use commercially available software packages as a part of their job function. Some of the simple analysis is off loaded to the designer. One of main reason for this shift is integration of analysis as early in design process as possible. Another reason is availability of powerful software and hardware at reasonable costs to the companies. However, most engineering technology students are not exposed to Finite Element Methods as part of their educational process. This is especially true for our Associate Degree students.
