With students in limbo, cut off from classes and labs during the pandemic, a void has developed in the training and use of engineering software. Design and simulation software has traditionally relied ...

The Computer Aided Engineering Lab is one of two computer labs dedicated for MMET student use. The lab includes 30 computer workstations, loaded with various engineering and productivity applications, ...

There’s nothing new about testing and analyzing product prototypes virtually. Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), collectively CAE, have been around for years.

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School in Haverhill recently purchased some cutting-edge technology with the help of a state funding award. The newly acquired items will provide additional ...

Computer Aided Design (CAD) encompasses the digital authoring, modification and documentation of two- and three-dimensional models for engineering and manufacturing. At its core are two principal ...
