Mon & Wed   Lecture  9:30-11:20AM @ Scaife Hall 219
Fri 3:00-6:00  Computer Cluster Hours (HH-C101) or TA Office Hours (CIELAB, HH B127)

 Course Goals   

You will learn how computing and information technologies are rapidly changing the way engineering design and analysis are practiced in industry. To increase productivity, traditional drawing-and-calculator-based methods are being replaced by computational engineering tools, or CAD/CAE, including drawing software, solid modelers, finite element analysis software, mathematical packages, kinematics simulators, dynamic simulators, etc. Using current real-world industry problems, you will gain hands-on experience and problem solving skills critical to your success as an engineer in the computer age. Computer-Aided Design is the first section of the new computational engineering course series. The second  one, Computer-Aided Engineering (12 units) is offered in Spring semesters.
