Wow, you take me back with that question...

I remember as if it were yesterday lectures in Computer Science in a HIGHLY* raked lecture theatre at Melbourne University with Professor Poole and others and using FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal, Basic, C in UNIX, Assembly Language, etc.. as well as using some other mainframe engineering applications (think punch cards and mark sense cards in some cases) using finite elements in the areas of , Solids, dynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. It was all good fun at the time.

The *very steep and very large lecture theatre was great for testing paper plane glide characteristics - I was always amazed by the "hang time" of the flying ring!

Best
