Computer-Aided Design Workstations for Undergraduate Microcomputer Laboratory Enhancement

与设计相关的计算机技术的快速发展 对工业界和学术界都产生了巨大的压力， 社区. 工业需要准备好满足 新的工作环境的挑战。 学院和 大学必须找到方法将这些经验纳入 本科课程的各个方面。 为此 该项目增强了目前的CAD实验室与国家的， 以最低的成本获得最先进的技术。 的基本 设备和软件为学生提供学习机会 在（a）实体建模，（B）3-D表面，（c）2-D/3- 三维绘图;（d）有限元建模与分析。 这 环境允许发展必要的技能， 结果适合职业需要的毕业生。 该奖项是由 与首席研究员的相同数量相匹配 *//

The rapid growth of computerized technology related to design has generated tremendous pressure on both the industrial and academic communities. Industry has need for engineers prepared to meet the challenges of this new workplace environment. Colleges and universities must find ways to incorporate these experiences into the various aspects of the undergraduate curriculum. To this end this project enhances the current CAD laboratory with state-of- the-art technology at the lowest possible cost. The essential equipment and software provide students with learning opportunities in the areas of (a) solid modeling, (b) 3-D surfaces, (c) 2-D/3- D drafting, and (d) finite element modeling and analysis. This environment permits the development of the requisite skills and results in graduates suited to career needs. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.***//
