Professors may describe the importance of taking theFundamentals of Engineering exam before students graduate as the first step towards the goal oflicensure, but then describe how licensure is not useful to professors. As a result, engineeringstudents may receive

The computer indeed enabled the students to solverealistic problems, but the time spent on technical details which were of minor rele-vance to the subject matter was much too long. In order to solve this difficulty, there was a tendency to provide the studentswith computer programs that could solve one particular type of a problem.
