Abstract:

Globalisation is accelerating and with it rapid technological change has resulted in the environment being dramatically impacted by constant and significant change. The global job market requires excellent technical skills, so we must educate students for more sophisticated jobs. Today, engineers must be practical and creative, able to work with different people, be quick to solve problems and make critical business decisions, whilst being professional and ethical. Spatial visualisation skills play a significant role in engineering fields, particularly for mechanical engineering students whose fields rely heavily on visualisation. This paper presents the CAD course with computer graphics components that would help in enhancing students’ powers of visualisation using CAD applications.
