In this episode, “Design Tools and Practices – Past, Present and into the Future” we discuss the tools and methodologies engineers have used throughout the decades. We’ll look at current and future technologies, too. Of course, the perspective we’ll be taking is that of electrical engineers responsible for electrical systems and platforms in the Aerospace and Defense industry. The industry has gone through major catalysts, or inflection points, through the years and we’ll discuss these catalysts, by Talking Aerospace Today
