In the past, only specialists with access tomainframes conducted finite element analyses due to the massive processing power required.However, the recent advances in microcomputer technology allow this processing capability tobe available to virtually anyone.

This metric cannot be used in the time frame of less than one year but the current retentionrate of the class is showing signs of improvement from previous years. This curriculum, just as thefields of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will be ever changing as technology becomescheaper and more advanced.
