 Agilent Technologies' separation
from Hewlett-Packard Company is the result of a corporate realignment.
On November 18, 1999, Agilent listed as a public company on the
New York Stock Exchange. At the time, Agilent's U.S.$2.1 billion
initial public offering of stock was the largest in Silicon Valley
history. Agilent operates four businesses: test and measurement,
semi-conductor products, healthcare solutions and chemical analysis,
supported by a central laboratory. Its businesses excel in applying
measurement technologies to develop products that sense, analyze,
display and communicate data.
 
 ANSYS,
Inc., a leader in collaborative engineering, exemplifies its
ongoing commitment to engineering education through the ANSYS,
Inc. Educational Program. Currently the ANSYS, Inc. Educational
Program aids over 2,000 colleges, universities, and educational

 The
MacNeal Schwendler Corporation
markets an Introductory Multimedia Course, which is a self paced,
interactive course that includes hundreds of animations, simulated
PATRAN operations, sounds, graphics, and engineering simulations.
The company provides a demo CD which introduces MSC/PATRAN to
new users. Students will master the basic skills required to
use MSC/PATRAN in typical engineering applications. The applications
emphasize the development of practical skills through comprehensive
hands-on studies. Each of the 13 cases on the demo CD demonstrates
a major feature such as modeling, importing CAD data, defining
material properties, creating boundary conditions, submitting
jobs for analysis, and postprocessing results. [MacNeal-Schwendler
