Some research advances in computer graphics that will enhance applications to engineering design
Research in man/machine interactions and graphics hardware/software that will enhance applications to engineering design was described. Research aspects of executive systems, command languages, and networking used in the computer applications laboratory are mentioned. Finally, a few areas where little or no research is being done were identified
CAD/CAM, CNC TECHNOLOGY APPLIED IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING, SECURITY TECHNOLOGY AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER TRAINING I.
In the last decades the spectacular results of each
developmental stages of
computer-aided design, were considered as great magic of
computer use.
Professionals were shocked by the impressive building of
engineer works and
their more and more realistic appearance. It was hard to believe
and for many
people it still is that this technology becomes indispensable in
everyday
engineering work. By now, in front-rank product development, it
is impossible to
do a competitive designer work without applying the most up-to-
date design
technology. This all leads to the fact that an engineer student
of our days, in his
design practice, is definitely going to work with the
momentarily most up-to-date
technology, which will be out-of-date in a couple of years. |

Computer-aided design and analysis of mechanisms
An introduction to the computer programs developed to assist in the design and analysis of mechanisms is presented. A survey of the various types of programs which are available is given, and the most widely used programs are compared. The way in which the programs are used is discussed, and demonstrated with an example
Exploring perceptions and attitudes towards teaching and learning manual technical drawing in a digital age
This paper examines the place of manual technical drawing in the 21st century by discussing the perceived value and relevance of teaching school students how to draw using traditional instruments, in a world of computer aided drafting (CAD). Views were obtained through an e-survey, questionnaires and structured interviews. The sample groups represent professional CAD users (e.g. engineers, architects); university lecturers; Technology Education teachers and student teachers; and school students taking Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) Graphic Communication courses. An analysis of these personal views and attitudes indicates some common values between the various groups canvassed of what instruction in traditional manual technical drafting contributes towards learning. Themes emerge such as problem solving, visualisation, accuracy, co-ordination, use of standard conventions, personal discipline and artistry. In contrast to the assumptions of Prensky's thesis (2001a&b) of digital natives, the study reported in this paper indicate that the school students apparently appreciate the experience of traditional drafting. In conclusion, the paper illustrates the perceived value of such learning in terms of transferable skills, personal achievement and enjoyment
Requirements for a Research-oriented IC Design System
Computer-aided design techniques for integrated circuits grown in an incremental way, responding to various perceived needs, so that today there are a number of useful programs for logic generation, simulation at various levels, test preparation, artwork generation and
analysis (including design rule checking), and interactive graphical editing. While the design of many circuits has benefitted from these programs, when industry wants to produce a high-volume part, the design and layout are done manually, followed by digitizing and
perhaps some graphic editing before it is converted to pattern generation format, leading to the often heard statement that computer-aided design of integrated circuits doesn't work. If progress is to be made, it seems clear that the entire design process has to be thought through in basic terms, and much more attention must
be paid to the way in which computational techniques can complement the designer's abilities. Currently, it is appropriate to try to characterize the design process in abstract terms, so that implementation and technological biases don't cloud the view of a desired system. In this paper, we briefly describe the conversion of
algorithms to masks at a very general level, and then describe several projects at MIT which aim to provide contributions to an integrated design system. It is emphasized that no complete system design exists
now at MIT, and that we believe that general design considerations must constantly be tested by building (and rebuilding) the various subcomponents, the structure of which is guided by our view of the overall design process
Computer graphics application in the engineering design integration system
The computer graphics aspect of the Engineering Design Integration (EDIN) system and its application to design problems were discussed. Three basic types of computer graphics may be used with the EDIN system for the evaluation of aerospace vehicles preliminary designs: offline graphics systems using vellum-inking or photographic processes, online graphics systems characterized by direct coupled low cost storage tube terminals with limited interactive capabilities, and a minicomputer based refresh terminal offering highly interactive capabilities. The offline line systems are characterized by high quality (resolution better than 0.254 mm) and slow turnaround (one to four days). The online systems are characterized by low cost, instant visualization of the computer results, slow line speed (300 BAUD), poor hard copy, and the early limitations on vector graphic input capabilities. The recent acquisition of the Adage 330 Graphic Display system has greatly enhanced the potential for interactive computer aided design
Introduction of CAA into a mathematics course for technology students to address a change in curriculum requirements
The mathematical requirements for engineering, science and technology students has been debated for many years and concern has been expressed about the mathematical preparedness of students entering higher education. This paper considers a mathematics course that has been specifically designed to address some of these issues for technology education students. It briefly chronicles the changes that have taken place over its lifetime and evaluates the introduction of Computer Assisted Assessment (CAA) into a course already being delivered using Computer Aided Learning (CAL).
Benefits of CAA can be categorised into four main areas.
1. Educational â achieved by setting short, topic related, assessments, each of which has to be passed, thereby increasing curriculum coverage.
2. Students â by allowing them to complete assessments at their own pace removing the stress of the final examination.
3. Financial â increased income to the institution, by broadening access to the course. Improved retention rate due to self-paced learning.
4. Time â staff no longer required to set and mark exams.
Most students preferred this method of assessment to traditional exams, because it increased confidence and reduced stress levels. Self-paced working, however, resulted in a minority of students not completing the tests by the deadline
