SolidWorks, more specifically the Simulation license to perform finite element analysis on rendered components. It's a CAD program.
Licenses for full use run around $5000 each but considering it's only the educational edition I doubt the school pays more than $100 per full license. And they still don't have it installed across the campus.
I'd try to use my laptop for it but the program itself requires massive computing power that I simply do not have access to at home. Even the school's best computers take upwards of ten minutes to render the mesh and calculate relevant stresses.
