MCE 511 COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING E – NOTE 3 Units Course Lecturer – Engr. Prof. Sam. B. ADEJUYIGBE INTRODUCTION The technology that has the greatest impact on the production system over the last decades is computer technology. For any meaningful technological, or industrial design, or manufacturing breakthrough in developing countries like Nigeria, it is time to abandon the old traditional ways of manual preparation in favour of more consistent and faster tool as Computer-Aided Design/Drafting/Manufacturing/Process Planning/Computer Aided Engineering (CAD/CADD/CAM/CAPP/CAE), so that fast accurate data drawings and manufactured products can be correctly obtained in good time. The basic concepts, challenges and motivation of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) in developing countries like Nigerian is looked at in this paper using twenty six (26) Industries scattered in the Southern part of Nigeria. National and International competition in manufacturing is causing industrial leaders to look at new strategies for remaining competitive and improving quality in their products. Developments in the computer industry are having profound impact on the manufacturing industries from design to machine processing as well as the management and marketing components. Governments of all industrialized countries place great emphasis on the development of their manufacturing sectors. It is great importance, not only as a means of supporting sustainable growth, but also because of the nature of the technological developments that have taken place particularly over the last decade. Industrialization has a particular significant
