Engineering design has played a crucial role in developing our way of life. Nearly everything we use has an engineering design component. The creation of the AutoCAD computer program only further increased the potential of design. The program AutoCAD has revolutionized the engineering and architectural field by making several improvements to safety, efficiency, the feasibility of design, simulations, quality control, and the ability to save time/money. First, AutoCAD design has made it incredibly feasible to create designs in the engineering and architectural fields. There are many tools that AutoCAD offers compared to traditional design of pencil and paper. In my experience, AutoCAD has made it simple for me to create various drawings by using simple commands. Some examples of these commands include, the trim, explode, and fillet commands. What would take me hours to draw by hand is greatly reduced to an hour or two with AutoCAD. Furthermore, engineers and architects are able to use AutoCAD design to make their jobs easier. Engineers can use AutoCAD to create models in 2D and 3D which helps them view two forms of their design. AutoCAD also removes the need to start a design from scratch because the user can just save and add to their design later. This is very helpful in both fields because it allows current mistakes in one design to be easily fixed in the future. If something were to happen to a tool or building, then a professional can go back and pinpoint the issue
CAD systems are used for the graphic design, it generates three dimensional graphic designs, and the knowledge worker can check the design from different angles. The analysis of design via this way is much faster and more accurate than the traditional ways. It is accelerating designing phase by which it not only save time but also save cost and production phase can start sooner than expectations.
Mechanical Design – This is made up of designer who take the product specifications, design and produce
Engineers adapt engineering design process to plan as well as consider different relevant variables in different design stages in order to create a pragmatic product. Also, according to Ertas (1996), the engineering design is defined as the decision making process in different scientific ways to meet desired needs within stated objectives. A good designer who should take into account in different design issues and relevant factors during the process of engineering design which can help to put concepts and ideas into products in effective ways.
Aerospace Engineers design aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, and other airborne objects. Creating prototypes of these designs and testing them is also a primary part of the job. They may also evaluate the designs of other engineers to ensure that the idea meets certain ethical, safety, and environmental standards. It is not unusual for Aerospace Engineers to oversee the building process as well, ensuring that proper deadlines are met. Typically an Aerospace Engineers specializes in either aeronautical or astronautical design, which will determine whether they work with aircraft or spacecraft.
CAD/CAM technology an innovation in the production of dental prosthesis. CAD/CAM is a technological advancement in dentistry, the production of dental prosthesis can be done at the dental office instead of dental laboratories. Going to get a restoration for example a crown can be a long process which requires a pair of visits to the dental office. The process may be going to get the tooth prepared, impression, and placing of the temporary crown. The second visit requires cementing the crown and adjusting the bite. In contrast the CAD/CAM technology can provide a quicker method. Today you can visit a dental office that has a CAD/CAM Cerec machine to get your restoration fabricated and placed in one single day. This advancement in dental technology
There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.
Many assumed that shifting to a 3D design program was just a software change. The assumption was that BIM would fit within or piggy-back existing workflows that have been standard practice for decades. Even when design shifted from the drafting board to CAD back in the 80’s, the end product and processes of producing 2D drawings and how they were used to construct projects were almost exactly the same as they were pre-CAD. The reaction from the industry at the time, was that CAD was just a drafting program and the mistakes in coordination still happened due to the lack of communication between trades and inaccuracies in drawings not being caught prior to
The goal fo architectural and engineered construction drawings is to organize, clarify, and effectively convey an enormous amount of detailed information in order to describe how a complicated building, such as a medical clinic or net-zero house must be built. Andrew's construction drawings have a quality of sophistication that demonstrates his genuine understanding of the complex codes and project criteria. It is important to note, on all of the projects Andrew has been involved in, I have never had a change order; this is undoubetly due to the consistant high quality of his work. I have no doubt that his concetrated attention to detail will be a critical asset in his future career.
“Idea of heaven is to wake up, have a good breakfast and spend the rest of the day drawing” (“Peter Falk Quotes”) This quote is said by peter Falk, this talks about the love people have for drawing up something like in Drafting. CAD or Computer Aided Design is a program that drafters use to draw something up. To draw something up they use the ideas of engineers and architects to make technical drawings. They can use CAD or other programs like it to design everything from a computer chip to a skyscraper (bureau of labor statistics).
Blueprints are used every day, all around the world. A blueprint is a detailed drawing sowing anything and everything needed to know how to make a part. They are used to help communicate ideas from the engineer to the worker. Any job where you make things like buildings, cars, parts, etc. uses blueprints. Construction workers, welders, even wood workers use them. Prints look complicated, but they are very simple once you learn about all the parts that make them up.
Engineering and design will become more correspondent to one another. We already use engineering in calculating certain aspects (variables) when creating a new design, but it will officially merge. In the past, design was done with simple artistic methods such as pencil and paper, but now we have CAD and many more software programs. New apps will be created, allowing us to do as we please with such designs. In about twenty years, design will become more evolutionary than ever. From flying cars to smart houses, 2045 will begin the new destiny of everything revolutionizing. Design is prevailing with the new technology that we use daily. Designers are always pushing forward with new ideas, leaving the next group of young innovators to work ten times harder for that next big idea. Ideas come and goes and so does the brains behind the designs, but one thing is for sure, design will be bigger than we know
Design processes today have been reversed from designing from the inside to the outside, to designing from the outside to the inside. Most designing today is based on the actual structural appearance one will perceive from the exterior, rather than the functional use of the interior; although both are taken into consideration. AutoCAD is a
The relationship between art and design has been somewhat complicated and there is no clear picture how the roles of art and design ultimately differ. Some are saying that if design is good enough it becomes art. One great design thinker Kenya Hara has written some very good analysis about the relationship
I began to gain experience technical expertise starting in high school at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology. There was a gap between the technical skills that I obtained over time, including that of AutoCAD and Revit Architecture, and a true sense of design. For the most part, I learned through self teaching and trial and error. There was still a gap between what I was able to produce digitally and physically, and the design intent. Working with the Lawrence Design Group firm during my Senior year of High School, I gained an understanding of how the workplace functioned in the Architectural Field.
In recent times, CFD analysis, with the advent of computer architectures with superfast processing capabilities are rapidly emerging as an alternative to wind tunnel tests. In vehicles body development, reducing of drag is essential for improving fuel consumption as well as protect the global environment and the aerodynamics refined body is also aesthetically attractive, it will appeal to the customers. In this papers the process taken to optimize the shape of a vehicles . The Autodesk CFD program was used to iterate toward a converged solution with the goal of obtaining a better flow around the vehicle. The results are analyzed and only the drag force is compared with a recognized journal to validate the results. These practices were detailed in hopes that further research would use the ground work laid out in this paper to redesign existing vehicles in order to improve handling and increasing fuel efficiency.
