The Iowa Computer-Aided Engineering Network - Providing a Computer-Intensive Engineering Curriculum

The University of Iowa College of Engineering has recently installed a large network of computer workstations, intended to support the teaching of computer-aided engineering concepts. This network, known as the Iowa Computer-Aided Engineering Network (ICAEN) is one of the largest of its kind at any University. In this paper, the structure of the ICAEN system is discussed and its use throughout the Engineering Curriculum is described.
