competencies in Materials Science and Engineering,creating a demand for students who can engage in the computer-aided design of materials4.Meeting this new demand for computational competencies is not straightforward, as simplyadding new subject matter independent of the traditional content is not viable in already packedcurricula. To add these new competencies, we must either teach a smaller technical core to createspace for computational competencies or find ways to synergize the instruction of computationalcompetencies with the traditional content so that learning computational competenciesaccelerates learning of traditional content and vice versa.Fortunately, early research into the use of modeling and simulation tools suggests that

Our committeesurveyed the faculty in Engineering and Applied Science at UVa about the skills they feltour students should have; we also asked them which software they actually used in theirclasses, research, and consulting. Finally, we considered the demands and needs ofindustry for computer fluent engineers. We cannot provide instruction in each of theparticular software products used by industry, but we can and do educate our students inthe relevant capabilities and limitations of each type of program.2.

The use of CAD tools in thedesign reinforces the computer skills the students need later, particularly in capstone design, andprovides a motivation for our students who are excited by aerospace vehicles.The content of the course provides for a parallel development of CAD skills with theintroduction of aerospace vehicle concepts and analysis tools.

I've worked on computers since I was 14 but the innerworkings of components on boards were always a mystery to me. This course brings together Discrete mathematics, digital systems, and design into a single class with a focus on design.
