Focus
Online Engineering
Online Engineering is
one of the very future trends in engineering and
science.
Due to:
- the growing complexity of engineering
tasks,
- more and more specialized and expensive
equipment
as well as software tools and simulators,
- the necessary use of expensive equipment
and software tools/simulators in short time projects,
- the application of high tech equipment
also
in SME's,
- the need of high qualified staff to
control
recent equipment,
- the demands of globalization and
division
of labour,
it is
increasingly
necessary to allow and organize a shared use of equipment, but also
specialized software
as for example simulators.
