Drafting and Design CADD - CADD/CAM Laboratory Enhancement

该项目建议增加最先进的硬件和软件来教授计算机辅助绘图/设计，以及计算机辅助绘图/计算机辅助制造，以加强西部爱荷华州理工学院的绘图和设计课程。这里提出的设备(硬件/软件组合)将使学院教员能够在光盘上编写教程，并附上CADD/CAM教学手册；加强培训教员……即为中学和大学一级的教员提供培训，这些教员反过来在应用数学和科学方案中教授计算机辅助绘图；改善残疾人和其他特殊人群的机会，他们有能力在征兵职业方面成功竞争，但需要特殊设备才能跟上其他学生的步伐。使起草及设计部成为国家CADD/CAM硬件和软件制造商的测试点，这不仅会增加学生的学习机会，也会增加他们的就业能力。为在校本科生提供更有效的教育机会，反映工业工程技术的进步。

This project proposes adds state-of-the-art hardware and software to teach computer-aided drafting/design, and computer- aided drafting/ computer-aided manufacturing, enhancing the Drafting and Design programs at Western Iowa Tech Community College. The equipment (hardware/software combination) proposed here would enable the college faculty to develop tutorials on disk accompanied by manuals for CADD/CAM instruction; to enhance efforts to train trainers...that is, to provide training for instructors at the secondary and collegiate level who in turn teach computer assisted drafting in a program of applied math and science; to improve access to the handicapped and other special populations who have the ability to compete successfully in drafting occupations but need special equipment in order to keep pace with other students. To enable the Drafting and Design department to be designated as a national beta test site for CADD/CAM hardware and software manufacturers, which would not only enhance learning opportunities for students, but also their employability. to provide enrolled undergraduate students more efficient educational opportunities that reflect the technological advances in industrial engineering technologies.
