drastically reducing the learningcurve for a manufacturing tool because the student is not leaning a new tool package, and itmakes it very easy for the student to go back and forth between the design and manufacturingmode of their project parts and design as it is all integrated in one package.Ultimately, Siemens NX and CATIA v5 (now referred to simply as NX and CATIA) wereidentified as the CAD/CAM package that offered the most upside for implementation in astudent environment. This is largely due to the fact that NX and CATIA are seen as anintegrated engineering tool, allowing for not only design and manufacture, but also kinematics,analysis and project management. Additionally, many students at the university already learnNX and CATIA as part of
