Description:
This article discusses how personal computers can be applied to environmental engineering. fter explaining some of the differences between mainframe and Personal computers, we will review the development of personal computers and describe the areas of data management, interactive computation, graphics, and simulation, where personal computers play a prominent role in the transfer of information. ext, we will discuss new trends and developments such as artificial intelligence and their potential impact on environmental engineering, and we will suggest how personal computers might change the practice of environmental engineering in the future.
