The Effect of Computers on Engineering Problem Solving, the Black Box Syndrome
Abstract
The introduction of personal computers have revolutionised the way we work. There is no single section of life where digital computers have not influenced the way we work. The benefits of computers in scientific and technical work are widely admired. The author applaud the benefits, but propose to discuss certain cautions, which may be overlooked. The remarks are directed mainly toward the use of general purpose computer programs but include generalisations about the impact of computer technology. Special attention is given to Finite Element application in engineering problem solving.
