In the table below is the approved list
of Tennessee NRCS developed engineering software for use in Tennessee.
This list is dynamic and will be updated as existing software is
revised and new software is added to the list. Engineering computer
software, developed by Tennessee NRCS employees and used by NRCS
employees, not on the approved list should be sent to the State
Conservation Engineer (SCE) for review and approval. The use of any
engineering software not on the approved state list or is discouraged,
but will be acceptable provided the results are checked by an approved
method. Nationally approved
software is not listed on this web page. NRCS employees can access NRCS
nationally approved software from the Information Technology Center
(ITC) Website
http://www.itc.nrcs.usda.gov/.
Support for NRCS nationally approved engineering software should be
obtained through the State Conservation Engineer.
Non-NRCS employees can obtain NRCS
software from the website
http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/techtools/
Use of Engineering Software
Engineering software is a tool that can be used in the planning,
design, and certification of conservation practices and can vastly
increase the employee's productivity and quality of work. However,
individuals using engineering computer software should have a working
knowledge of the software and know the software's limitations prior to
using it. Use of engineering software for specific jobs is the
responsibility of the user and is subject to the individual's
engineering job approval authority. Users of engineering software
should not "blindly" accept the answers, but should know if the results
are appropriate results for the situation. Training in use of the
approved engineering software should be requested through appropriate
channels.
Errors found in the approved engineering software and/or
recommendations for improving the software should be sent to the SCE,
Robert.Anderson.
