In this presentation, the industry that isEngineering and Design will be fully examined asit pertains to the technology being used. Thepersonnel in this industry will also be fullydescribed as well as recommendations on whythe use of computers are either beneficial or notto this type of company.


3/20

Engineering can be defined as the applicationof scientific, economic, social, and practicalknowledge in order to design, build, and maintainstructures, machines, devices, systems, materialsand processes.

Design is the creation ofa plan or convention for the construction of anobject or a system (as in architectural

blueprints, engineering drawing, businessprocess, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns).

ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS


5/20

Engineers are individuals that applytheir scientific knowledge to solvepractical problems, often with an eye

toward optimizing cost, efficiency, or someother parameters.


6/20

There are three main types of engineers:

Computer Engineers: engineers analyze and evaluatecomputer systems, both hardware and software.

Electrical engineers: deal with the study and applicationof electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Civil engineers are engineers that deal with design,construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturallybuilt environment including works like roads, bridges andbuildings.


7/20

A designer is an agent that "specifies thestructural properties of a design object

Types of Designers: Web designers Graphic designers Architectural designers


8/20

CAD, CADD, CAE


9/20

Computer-Aided Design is the use of computer systems to assist inthe creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.

There are different Computer Aided Design editors. The mostpopular editor being AutoCAD.

AutoCAD is a software application supporting both 2D and 3Dformats. It is used by:

Drafters Architects Engineers Marine Engineers and Naval Engineers


10/20

Advantages of using CAD software: to increase the productivity of the designer

improve the quality of design improve communications through

documentation

Disadvantages of using CAD software: implementation expenses

job elimination


11/20


12/20

Computer-Aided Design and Drafting is a CAD systemwith additional drafting features.

They enable engineers and architects to: insert size annotations and other notes into a design Produce 2D pictures of objects in addition to the

technical drawings produced through CAD


13/20

Computer-Aided Engineering is the use of computers to analyse engineeringdesigns and to stimulate complex electrical and mechanical systems.

A CAE software used by many engineers is NX CAE.It is used because: it reduces production development and time Designs can be evaluated and refined using computer simulations rather

than physical prototype testing, saving money and time CAE helps engineering teams manage risk and understand the

performance implications of their designs.

Drawbacks of CAE software: The requirements of the CAE are still

very high for applications based on PCplatforms, which implies a high cost ofhardware.

The software also has considerablecosts, as well as the training that isneeded to make be able to work with

this type of application.

Flatbed/DrumGraphics Plotter

High ResolutionMonitors

Inkjet/LaserPrinter


16/20

Using Information Technology in this industry can be quite beneficial as it:Improves the quality of the designReduce cost and timeIncreases the productivity of the engineer or designer

Disadvantages of using Information Technology would be basically:Implementing such software may be costlyJobs that would be usually done by other personnel of the industry, might notbe necessary as before


17/20


18/20

From our research we suggest that personnel should doin terms of information technology are:

Using CADD instead of CAD as it has more featureswhich would be better in aiding the designers

Using Inkjet printers rather than impact or lineprinters as it produces high resolution images inorder to see the details in the design


19/20

Throughout this presentation, the differenttypes of software and hardware used in thisindustry were discussed. How this technologywas used by the personnel had also beenexplained. Recommendations had beenmentioned as to how the industry should use

the technology provided.
