A More Open, Accessible Future

摘要

IF YOU HAD TOLD ME A YEAR AGO that I'd soon be overseeing my first issue of Digital Engineering at its editorial director, I would have quickly dismissed the notion. Jamie Gooch has been the "face" otDE for as long as I've been a contributor. I was surprised when the post suddenly became available, and also thrilled at the opportunity to dive into the work that this magazine has been doing so well for so long. I have some big shoes to fill. My predecessor spent the past decade guiding Digital Engineering through tremendous changes, both in the design and engineering market at large and within the magazine itself. I'm approaching the challenge with a mix of trepidation and excitement. This is a highly dynamic space to write about, and new innovations in high-performance computing, cloud-based applications, simulation-driven design, additive manufacturing, and other technologies are going to lead to a rapid evolution in how designers and engineers develop, test and build new products across nearly every sector of manufacturing.
