computational and simulation engineering software. Because of that, the proper knowledge ofCAD software use is therefore, nevertheless, essential.Additionally, CAD systems constantly evolve, continuously requiring increasingly powerfulcomputers to run. Typically, a CAD laboratory will be dedicated to them with costly computersfeaturing huge amounts of RAM memory, high performance graphical adapters and largescreens. These high performance machines are moreover in great demand by students who areusing them in an increasing variety of course and projects requiring work on the digital mock up.Therefore, time spent by students in front of these computers must be as productive as possiblesuch as to maximize their availability to other students.Clearly

Animportant outcome was that this network technology can significantly improve studentachievement in large classes. CAPA helped students overcome some of the factors thatcontribute to students not achieving their goals, which include deficient preparation and lack ofawareness, misconceptions about physics fundamentals, insufficient mathematical problem-solving skills, excessively demanding and difficult course schedules, students' perceptions of thequality of education, and emotional and physical well being (students who work to pay
