It is vital that today's engineers work with computer-basedtools and techniques. However, programming courses do not provideengineering students with the skills that are necessary to succeedin their professional career. Here, the authors propose a novel,practical approach that encompasses knowledge assimilation,decision-making capabilities and technical agility, together withconcepts in computer-aided engineering that are independent ofhardware and software technologies.
This book:
* Outlines general concepts such as fundamental logic, definitionof engineering tasks and computational complexity
* Covers numerous representation frameworks and reasoningstrategies such as databases, objects, constraints, knowledgesystems, search and optimisation, scientific computation andmachine learning
* Features visualization and distribution of engineeringinformation
* Presents a range of IT topics that are relevant to all branchesof engineering
* Offers many practical engineering examples and exercises
Fundamentals of Computer Aided Engineering providessupport for all students involved in computer-aided engineeringcourses in civil, mechanical, chemical and environmentalengineering. This book is also a useful reference for researchers,practising engineers using CAE and educators who wish to increasetheir knowledge of fundamental concepts.
