The next engineering paradigm, Engineering 4.0, extends design data to downstream departments in the right format at the right time; resulting in a more efficient product development process. Read our article and infographic to learn how you can stand out with Engineering 4.0.
There have been four great stages of engineering and design tools leveraged over the past 250 years to account for all mechanisms, inventions and designs that we have used to simplify our lives. This post will take a look at the next phase, Engineering 4.0 which is starting now. Missed parts one and two of the History of Engineering Design Tools series? Click the links for a look back at Engineering 1.0, Engineering 2.0 and Engineering 3.0.
To stay competitive in the global economy of the future, engineering, design and manufacturing companies must continually find new ways to adopt and leverage their employees, technologies and processes. The three pillars of the past 20 years, CAD, Simulation and Data Management will not be enough to stay ahead of the curve amid increasing competition.
One of the ways that leading companies are looking to increase efficiencies is by helping engineers to focus more time on design and innovation by providing downstream departments with the data and tools they need in a timely manner. Sharing data and providing tools to departments and users that need engineering information in the right format, distributed via a secure and centralized source and leveraging associative updates and feedback are the early keys to enabling Engineering 4.0.
Downstream departments that rely on engineering information but still perform manual labor are perfect targets for brining on board with the Engineering 4.0 framework. One of these areas includes process engineering and the quality assurance departments for creating inspection drawings and reports for performing first article and ongoing inspection of critical dimensions.
One of the most significant areas to exploit in improving downstream access information will be enabled by the emerging model based definition movement which will enable engineering to rapidly document 3D models with dimensions, notes and product manufacturing information (PMI) which can be output to the popular eDrawings format or to the Adobe Portable Data Format (PDF) for easy viewing on the shop floor on computers and tablets. This rich information reduces errors with both in-house and outsourced manufacturing by visually linking dimensions and geometry to avoid manufacturing delays and scrap.
The key to enabling Engineering 4.0 is to review the needs of every department with respect to engineering information and to provide a delivery mechanism for them to get the up-to-date information they need in the format most conducive to their task in addition to providing them with the tools needed to easily manipulate the data to their task and purpose.
SolidWorks is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is a leader in the industry for engineering design. It uses the principle of parametric design and generates three kinds of interconnected files: the part, the assembly, and the drawing. Therefore, any modification to one of these three files will be reflected in the other two.
After completing the EDT Program, students can (1) work as designers and drafters in the fields of Architecture and Engineering with a two-year degree or (2) enhance their skills and knowledge of building design prior to transfer to a four-year institution to continue work toward an architectural or engineering degree (3) work in any industry where Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) is used.
This degree and certificate program is designed for students pursuing employment or upgrading in employment in the fields of building design utilizing Manual and CAD drafting applications in architectural, engineering, or construction-related offices. This program is designed for students pursuing entry-level employment in Architecture, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, and commercial construction drafting fields. Depending on their technical field of interest and capabilities, students who complete the program may find employment in any of the following types of jobs: Engineering Aide I, Engineering Aide II, Drafting Aide I, Drafting Aide II, Junior Drafter, Architectural Drafter, Mechanical Drafter/Designer Trainee, Electrical Drafter/Designer Trainee, Structural Drafter/Designer Trainer, Topographical Drafter/Designer Trainee, General Construction Drafter/Designer Trainee, General Construction Estimator Trainee, Computer-Aided Drafter, or Technical Sales representatives. Some students may also pursue four-year degrees in Architecture, Engineering, Construction, or Project Management.
