Practice became ever more algorithmic and computational, always temperedby experience and judgment. Until a few decades ago, civil engineers made their calculations “by hand” using slide rules ormechanical/electrical calculators. They were, therefore, generally limited to performing calculationsonce, and they were forced to select a single value for each variable involved in the algorithm.Engineers, generally aware of the uncertainties inherent in the numbers used, included a “factor ofsafety” to achieve what they hoped would be a “safe design.” This computational history led to a mindset in which engineers consider physical

In order to eliminate this extraneous work, the 3-axis movement of themicropositioner was achieved through servo motors which allowed a digital override to themanually controlled analog system.
