University-Industry Cooperation for Effective Education and Research in CAD/CAM
It is well known that, for successful conception, manufacture, and marketing of a new product, design and manufacturing activities must be closely coordinated. Decisions made at the design...
Graphics Interchangeability in a Heterogeneous Network
The paper outlines the complex problems of graphics interchangeability in a heterogeneous network of workstations, and discusses requirements for a practicable solution. The design of...
A Survey of CASE Tools
This paper will trace the history of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE), describe CASE tools at each stage of the software engineering evolution, and discuss the future and trend...
The Portability of Graphics Package Dependent Software
Currently at the University of Wyoming a research project is under way to investigate methods of reducing the portability problem in software design. The project entails a general functional...
A Toolset for Tailoring Processor Architectures
The M2 toolset is a collection of programs for determining combinations of algorithms, architectures, and fabrications which meet a set of application constraints. The paper describes...
MATRIX.BYU
MATRIX.BYU is a general purpose Fortran program for personal computers which provides a flexible and user friendly platform for the input and output of matrix data, the execution of standard...
Teaching Engineering with Calculation Software
The term 'calculation software' is used here to describe computer software which has the basic functionality of a programmable scientific hand calculator, but...
Convection in the Classroom
By their nature, the empirical relations used to calculate convective heat transfer coefficients offer the user little or no insight into how the typical input parameters, e.g., pipe diameter...
Freshman Programming and Engineering Design: Comedy, or Tragedy
It is apparent from the literature, as well as discussions with faculty at other colleges of engineering, that the topics of freshman engineering design and computation are being dealt...
