Application of Personal Computers in Engineering

Michael W. S. Barlow

A number of self-contained personal computers have been in use at the Engineering Headquarters of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. for three years. The uses to which they are put and the reasons for using them are discussed, with emphasis on why similar results would not be achieved so conveniently with large mainframe computers. Staff training and the control of program development are described, and some samples of current programs are included.
