The book comprehensively discusses principles, techniques, research
activities, applications and case studies of computer-aided design
in a single volume. The textbook will serve as ideal study material
for undergraduate, and graduate students in a multitude of
engineering disciplines. The book * Discusses techniques for
wireframe, surface and solid modelling including practical cases
and limitations. * Each chapter contains solved examples and
unsolved exercises. * Includes research case studies and practical
examples in enabling the user to link academic theory to
engineering practice. * Highlights the ability to convert graphic
to non-graphic information such as in drawing up bills of materials
in practice. * Discusses important topics including constructive
solid geometry, Boolean operations on solid primitives and Boolean
algebra. This text covers different aspects of computer-aided
design, from the basic two-dimensional constructions through
modifications, use of layers and dimensioning to advanced aspects
such as three-dimensional modelling and customization of the
package to suit different applications and disciplines. It further
discusses important concepts including orthographic projections,
isometric projections, 3D wireframe modelling, 3D surface
modelling, solids of extrusion and solids of revolution. It will
serve as ideal study material for undergraduate, and graduate
students in the fields of mechanical engineering, industrial
engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, civil and
construction engineering, aerospace engineering and manufacturing
engineering.
This book is the result of years of research following a
realization of the mismatch of engineering skills produced by
universities and those that industry required, based on the
situation in Sub-Saharan Africa, equally applicable to other
regions in Africa and indeed worldwide. The book is meant to assist
engineering academics and engineers in industry to build capacity
and cope with the dynamic trends in technology brought on by the
4th Industrial Revolution and to prepare for the 5th Industrial
Revolution, an era predicted to be dominated by critical and system
thinkers with creative and innovative skills as basic necessities.
The book is also useful for policy-making researchers in academia,
industrial and public sector researchers, and implementers in
governments that provide required funding for the development of
human resources and skills. The book primarily consists of the
novel research and innovation approaches of modelling and building
systems thinking sub-models which were ultimately integrated into
the Universal Systems Thinking (UST) model aimed at improving the
quality of engineers and engineering practice. The initiatives in
this book include strategies for bridging the gap between industry
and academia through systems thinking research. The book provides
information on how to model, simulate, adjust and implement
integrated systems thinking approaches to engineering education and
training for capacity building and sustainability. The book also
covers approaches to address research gaps and mismatch of skills
while capitalizing on the successes of several projects carried out
and supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering over the years.
