There was a discussion a litle while ago about the use of software for
design in schools. Just as a matter of reflection the following quoted text

I have seen engineers using a particular software for design (Ex. Design a LNA
using ADS) and sometimes looks like they do not know anything about the design
itself only the procedures and mechanics of the software.
What do you guys think?

It is easy to plug a few numbers into a program and have it spit out the solutions. When the solutions are complex and multifaceted, having a computer to do the grunt work is especially handy. However, knowing underlying theory and principles that have been ported to computer platforms, and where they came from, makes the engineer or designer a more well-rounded and confident professional, and makes the results more reliable.
