Book Description
This publication updates the 1982 occasional paper that was intended to foster staff awareness and assist colleges in Great Britain considering the use of computer-aided design (CAD) material in engineering courses. The paper begins by defining CAD and its place in the Integrated Business System with a brief discussion of the effect of CAD on the role of the designer. A general account follows of the hardware used in CAD installations with some suggestions concerning its maintenance and running. Since drafting systems are so widely available, a separate section discusses them and problems that the teaching of computer-aided drafting presents. Since comparatively cheap three-dimensional modelling systems have only recently become available, a detailed description of two commonly used larger systems is included. The next four sections are specific to particular disciplines. Some analytic modelling systems in mechanical engineering are discussed. The sections on CAD in electrical/electronic engineering and in construction engineering review commercial systems now available. Another section discusses the peculiar problems that CAD in art and design presents; some possible solutions are advanced. The final section describes a systematic procedure for selection of a suitable system. Appendixes discuss curricular issues with some suggestions for course design and list hardware and software suppliers in Great Britain. (YLB)

Book Description
Computation and communication technologies underpin work and development in many different areas. Among them, Computer-Aided Design of electronic systems and eLearning technologies are two areas which, though different, in fact share many concerns. The design of CAD and eLearning systems already touches on a number of parallels, such as system interoperability, user interfaces, standardisation, XML-based formats, reusability aspects, etc. Furthermore, the teaching of Design Automation tools and methods is particularly amenable to a distant or blended learning setting, and implies the interconnection of typical CAD tools, such as simulators or synthesis tools, with eLearning tools. There are many other aspects in which synergy can be found when using eLearning technology for teaching and learning technology. EduTech: Computer-Aided Design Meets Computer-Aided Learning contains the proceedings of the EduTech2004 workshop, which was held in August 2004 in conjunction with the 18th IFIP World Computer Congress in Toulouse, France, and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). Organized by IFIP WG 10.5 (Design and Engineering of Electronic Systems) in cooperation with IFIP WG 3.6 (Distance Education), the workshop proceedings explore the interrelationship between these two subjects, where computer-aided design meets computer-aided learning. The book includes papers related to eLearning in the area of electronic CAD, but also includes contributions tackling general issues of eLearning that are applicable to this and many other areas such as reusability, standards, open source tools or mobility. This book will be of value to those interested in the latest developments in eLearning in general, and also to those coming from the electronic design field who want to know how to apply these developments in their area.

Book Description
AutoCAD is the most widely used CAD software in the world. It accounts for over 50% of CAD software users and is favoured by both Further and Higher Education Colleges. AutoCAD has been officially named by CIty and Guilds for use in engineering courses where CAD is taught. AutoCAD 12 is a major new release updated with a Graphic User Interface. Its applications span educational, industrial and commercial use, where the more advanced functions are welcomed. This timely new book describes and explains the features of AutoCAD Release 12 relevant to beginners and students of computer aided drawing. Through a logical sequence of study, extensive use of diagrams and exercises, the reader is encouraged to develop first class drawing skills using the software. The text is comprehensive, covering the basic functions through to the more advanced topics of AME and rendering. Over 260 line diagrams and 16 colour plates illustrate the text and a section of further exercises supports the reader with the extra study. Useful appendices discuss orthographic protection, MS-DOS and plotting. This essential book provides unrivalled coverage of Release 12 suitable for students undertaking BTEC and City and Guilds engineering courses where CAD is taught. Those in industry who wish to learn how to produce drawings using AutoCAD Release 12 will welcome the friendly text and excellent use of diagrams.

Book Description
This book presents examples of numeracy applications developed in a wide range of courses in a Further Education college in Wales. The numeracy case studies are not limited to simple arithmetic and tasks involving shape and space, but include more advanced topics such as: statistical analysis, mathematical modelling, calculus and design of algorithms. A broad definition of numeracy is adopted by the authors, in line with the range of numeracy skills expected and valued by employers. In addition to a knowledge of mathematical techniques, numeracy is considered to include: problem solving, especially in the design of solutions to non-routine tasks; communication of mathematical results in formats which are suitable for the intended audience and facilitate decision making; an ability to use computer technology to collect and process data; and a familiarity with number which allows appropriate levels of accuracy to be chosen, estimates made and errors detected.
