25 Seats of COSMOS/Works Installed at California State University at Fresno.Business Editors/Education & High-Tech Writers LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2002 Structural Research & Analysis Corp. (SRAC SRAC Southern Regional Aquaculture Center SRAC Short-Run Average Cost SRAC System Realignment and Categorization SRAC Scenic Roads Advisory Committee SRAC Structural Research and Analysis Corporation ), a leading developer of design analysis software for engineering professionals, today announced the sale of 25 seats of COSMOS/Works to the California State University, Fresno The campus sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the San Joaquin Valley. Fresno County is the sixth largest metropolitan area in California. The university is within an hour's drive of many mountain and lake resorts and within a three- or four-hour drive of both Los to be used in teaching students in the College of Engineering and Computer Science during the 2002 academic year. With a strong emphasis on computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive , Fresno State's Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department enables engineering students to study the effects of different parameters on the operation and performance of energy, fluid, aerospace, and other mechanical systems. Laboratory courses focus on computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), a form of automation where computers communicate work instructions directly to the manufacturing machinery. The technology evolved from the numerically controlled machines of the 1950s, which were directed by a set of coded , computer-integrated manufacturing computer-integrated manufacturing Data-driven automation that affects all systems or subsystems within a manufacturing environment: design and development, production (see CAD/CAM), marketing and sales, and field support and service. , materials handling Materials handling The loading, moving, and unloading of materials. The hundreds of different ways of handling materials are generally classified according to the type of equipment used. , plant layout, and human factors engineering. "COSMOS/Works ease of use and close integration with SolidWorks are two essential reasons why we chose the software for our engineering curriculum," said Dana Zupanovich Lucka, Director of Development, College of Engineering and Computer Science at CSU See DSU/CSU. 1. CSU - California State University. 2. CSU - Cleveland State University. 3. CSU - Channel Service Unit. Fresno. "When students are first learning the basics of design analysis, the software should help simplify the learning process, not make it more complicated." "We are pleased that Fresno State has chosen COSMOS/Works as the analysis tool of choice for its mechanical engineering program," said Suchit Jain, VP of Marketing for SRAC. "For students wishing to enter the mechanical or industrial engineering fields, there is no better program to learn the concepts of analysis than COSMOS/Works. The program will give them a firm foundation and skills that they can take with them in their professional careers."
