Moreover, instructors often cannot keep pace with the latestvirtual technology software developments.To address this problem, a number of universities are introducing innovative curricula withcomputer-aided design (CAD) modeling and computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis tools tohelp promote a better understanding of engineering basics and fundamentals among students,with the ultimate goal of preparing engineers who can fully integrate computer modeling anddesign with analytical skills.1 Researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at
