New advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools are now available that allow students to not only draw objects on the computer but also to determine forces, stresses, and motion. Students can even fabricate objects directly from the computer model with rapid prototyping tools. These tools can also be used to teach basic engineering technology material. Thus a curriculum can be envisioned where freshman learn how to create solid models within the CAD environment. Throughout the rest of the curriculum, advanced analysis tools can then be used to teach and reinforce specific course material including design, strength of materials, and mechanics. These three threads represent over 25% of the curriculum in Mechanical Engineering Technology and 10% of the curriculum in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology at Northeastern University. This paper discusses how these tools could be integrated into the curriculum.
