Abstract
Several general approaches to the use of the digital computer in the teaching of engineering design are discussed. These approaches are 1) the use of existing programs, 2) the development of programs specifically designed to solve a certain type of problem, and 3) the development of general-purpose software packages designed to implement the material and techniques taught in a specific course. The advantages and disadvantages of these various approaches are discussed, and specific examples of each approach are given.
