Computer-Aided Design Laboratories provide the students in the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Department with state-of-the-art engineering workstations and CAD/CAM/CAE software for a variety of applications in solids modeling, kinematics, dynamics, finite element modeling and analysis, plastic injection molding simulation, sheet metal fabrication simulation, numerical control machining simulation and others. The hardware and software support real-time animation of color shaded and photo realistic images of the results of theoretical models, pre and post processing of computer generated and experimental data. The department's local area network is connected to the university's gigabit backbone with connections to Internet, and NSF/DoD super computers. The department's thirty engineering workstations include Dell and SGI.
