Part II

In my very own future, being able to use the technology that will be presented to me will make or break me. I hope that one day I can call myself a great engineer, but to accomplish that I must be an expert at using software such as MATLAB, Mathcad, Excel, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks. I will be expected to know how to use these programs by all of my future employers. According to my engineering professor, I will learn how to use all of these programs and many more by taking various labs and practicing them on my own computer. AutoCAD is used for 2-D drawings, SolidWorks is used for 3-D representations, and Excel is used for organizing data in spreadsheets. Each program is essential to the engineering profession. Only then will I be digitally literate and able to succeed as an engineer.
