Abstract The development and preparation of course material for audiographic teleconferencing, a form of distance education, is discussed. The Group Teleconferencing System (GTCS), used at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is described. GTCS allows visual material (slides) to be displayed and annotated interactively, and some techniques for the generation and presentation of the slides are suggested, using a computer-aided-design course as an example.

The article is devoted to the use of modern computer technologies in the teaching of engineering and graphic disciplines in the engineering specialties of an agricultural university, to the formation of professional engineering and graphic competencies for students in the process of computer graphics training, computer modeling at the bachelor’s level and the basics of computer-aided design at the master’s level, to the development and implementation of work programs as part of the main educational programs providing two-level training using the national program computer-aided design KOMPAS-3D. There is an integrative of information-developing, personality-oriented teaching methods implemented in work programs ensuring the formation of competencies determined by the federal state standards of higher education and developed independently by the university.

This paper addresses the importance of integrating Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software and applications in the mechanical engineering curriculum. Computer aided engineering tools described include Computer-Aided Design, Computer-Aided Manufacturing, and Computer-Aided Analysis tools such as finite element (FE) modeling and analysis. The integration of CAE software tools in the curriculum is important for three primary reasons: it helps students understand fundamental engineering principles by providing an interactive and visual representation of concepts, it provides students an opportunity to explore their creative ideas and designs while keeping prototyping costs to a minimum, and it teaches students the valuable skill of more efficiently designing, manufacturing and analyzing their products with current technology making them more marketable for their future engineering careers. While CAE has been used in the classroom for decades, the mechanical engineering program at the University of North Florida is making an aggressive effort in preparing the future engineering workforce through computer-aided project-centered education. The CAE component of this effort includes using CAE software when teaching stress, strain, dynamics, kinematics, vibrations, finite element modeling and analysis, design and design for manufacturing, manufacturing and technical communication concepts. This paper describes CAE projects undertaken in several of the mechanical engineering courses at UNF in an effort to share creative teaching techniques for others to emulate.

A founding member of the Computer-Aided Design Group at the University of Cambridge, UK, and a student and collaborator of CAD pioneer Steven A. Coons at MIT, Robin Forrest occupies an important place in the history of computational design. Along with important contributions to the mathematics of shape representation, his coining of the term ‘computational geometry’ in 1971 offered a handle on design techniques that started to emerge – somewhat uncomfortably at first – in the interstices of engineering, mathematics, and the fledgling field of computer science. Initially fostered by governmentsponsored research into Computer-Aided Design for aircraft and car manufacturing, the methods he helped develop have since been encoded in countless commercial software systems for 3D modelling and simulation, helping structure the intellectual work – and the professional identity – of architects, engineers, and other practitioners of design.

Too often in the past, ‘computer aided design’ has really meant ‘computer aided draughting’. It has been assumed implicitly that the creative input has been made, and subsequent efforts are concentrated on streamlining and on making downstream processes more efficient. This has been the traditional development path of CADCAM applications, but it underrates the vital importance of a sound design concept in the first place since it is true to say that all the fundamental costs etc. of a product are built in at the design stage. More sophisticated tools are required for the designer working at the concept stage to help ensure the quality of his scheme and to avoid potential problems downstream during detailing etc. This paper will make these points and describe and illustrate a basic system created at the University of Ulster to allow designers to use finite element analysis effectively in certain situations without the degree of skill normally required of an analyst.

An effective teaching strategy that integrates computer aided design and programming into a course on mechanism analysis and design is presented. Mechanism analysis is enhanced when coupled with basic programming that allows students to find solutions to more complex systems than would otherwise be possible. Web-based distance learning is part of the class and students also learn how to create these kinds of materials themselves. Students can better understand the course material through an integrated computing environment. By solving mechanism design problems in C/C++, the programming skills gained in the course are widely applicable in other areas of engineering. Ch, a C/C++ interpreter, is used to incorporate programming and mechanism design because of its high-level numerical and graphical plotting capabilities, scripting capability, and a mechanism toolkit with easy and quick animation. A student project is given as an example to show how computers are integrated for effective learning. This teaching strategy has been actively used at UC Davis for several years in an undergraduate course in computer-aided mechanism design.
