Abstract
Engineering design may be a repetitive, tedious and time-consuming process, and, for these reasons, is an ideal application for computerized automation. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is viewed in industry as a cost effective means of improving engineering productivity, accuracy, and project control. Unfortunately, the use of CAD Systems in Engineering Education has not kept pace with current industrial applications. This is mainly due to the high cost of both hardware and software required for the development of even small CAD systems.
