Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...

This paper presents results of a case study undertaken to understand the effect of computer assisted teaching methodology on learning effectiveness in a laboratory environment. The effects of computer assisted instructions on different levels of cognition of individual learners, as described by Bloom’s Taxonomy have been evaluated. For this students in mechanical engineering subject area were e...

The first floor i dedicated to microelectronic , the second houses the conventional electronic fabrication faci lities and the Materials Laboratory, and the third is home to the Engineering Design (TED) and Engineering Design Automation (TEA ) Groups. The TEA ...

In the area of computer aided design for mechanical engineering (MCAD), one of the most important innovations of the last decade has been the introduction of parametric modeling. Now parametric modeling will be extended to the field of computer aided design for electrical engineering (ECAD). In this engineering domain the technology of variational design will release a tremendous potential of c...

SUMMARY This paper presents a prototype computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) environment that supports the engineering design process. In particular, this environment provides collaborative tools that support computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided software engineering (CASE). This paper takes an high level look at the system as a whole and then focuses on the method used to implem...
