Abstract :
The CAE (computer-aided engineering) tools course that is required for all entering students in manufacturing and plastics engineering technology at Western Washington University is described. The course content and development considerations are discussed. All students entering the manufacturing and plastics engineering technology programs are required to complete a basic CAD (computer-aided design)/solids modeling course and an introductory CAE tools course. Interdisciplinary projects are used within the department to teach the students about simultaneous or concurrent engineering
