Please Note: The PENNDOT Engineering Programs do not include a graphical user interface (GUI). The engineering programs are command line programs that require the input be stored in a text file. The programs run from the command line, read the input file and produce the output in a text file. The PENNDOT Engineering Programs can be accessed with a user friendly GUI by licensing the Engineering Assistant (EngAsst) program. EngAsst is a general purpose Windows GUI program that works with all PENNDOT Engineering Programs and requires a separate license. For further information about the EngAsst program, click here.
