Abstract
Since 1995, 3D-CAD has been a critical component of mechanical design education in the Department of Production Systems Engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan College of Technology. The quality of the department's mechanical design program has been reviewed, and the department has consequently received the JSME Education Award from The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Current trends in digital engineering demand digital industrial designs of the utmost quality and efficiency. For this reason, we seek to investigate the possibility of new design programs that employ 3D-CAD in engineering education applications. This paper reports such a program implemented by our college.
