ACECOMS aims to provide an impetus to the research in engineering computations, the development of quality computer software tools for engineering applications, and training on their effective use. ACECOMS is one of AIT’s initial self-sustaining centers and the region’s first of its kind
ACECOMS and AIT Solutions (formerly AIT Consulting) collaborate on projects to further develop aligned activities, extend services in software development specific to the engineering profession, and deliver expert training programs.
ACECOMS is actively involved in the regionalization, regional promotion and support of high-quality professional software such as SAP2000, ETABS, SAFE, and CSICol from Computers and Structures Inc., Berkeley, California, USA.
