Computer graphics and computer-aided engineering can be used effectively in both structured and unstructured classes; however, the infrastructure is more critical for unstructured classes. Open-ended ...

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) is the use of software to create precise digital drawings and 3D models of products. It allows designers to visualise and modify designs quickly, ensuring accuracy and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Steve Tengler covers automotive and its transformative technology. This article is more than 4 years old. There was a time where ...

Virtually all design today involves a computer, but in the early age of digital design, most professionals perceived these new machines skeptically–they were devices meant for the military, not ...

CAD, or computer-aided design, has transformed design in many fields, allowing simulation and numerical data modeling in industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, product design and ...

The article about a computational comeback in drug discovery was a good read (C&EN, Jan. 25, page 19). I do agree that graphics processing unit (GPU) technology has made computer calculations faster ...

Wondering about the uses for CAD? Computer-aided design software has shaped the evolution of many fields, allowing designers to create both 2D or 3D plans and prototypes of systems, spaces and objects ...
