In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Computer Aided Design (CAD) has evolved from electronic versions of hand‐drawn sketches into comprehensive, multidimensional modelling environments that underpin modern engineering and manufacturing.

So, when did the medical device industry begin to embrace CAD/CAM and CAE software, and what nudged manufacturers in that direction? In 1995, MD+DI published an in-depth article noting an increasing ...

Mathematical definition and manipulation of part surfaces within a computer assists the body engineer in the design of automobile components and in the evaluation of tentative designs. Methods have ...

Since the first FEA solver, Nastran, was developed for NASA in the 1960s, the simulation software industry has contended with a number of hurdles. For one, while the software (FEA, CFD, CEM) is ...

Do you love the idea of exploring a potential product and helping plan how to build it using computer-aided design? Engineering design technologists do just that. When you enroll in WMU's program, you ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...
