Development of lectures on computer tools for postgraduate studies in design engineering oriented to Colombian industry needs

Abstract

The impact of computer tools in how products are being designed has become an important point in implementing new technologies at industrial level -- Moreover,in a developing country, the implementation of new technologies is a must in order to be competitive worldwide -- According to needs and limitations of the local industry, new engineers are required to be prepared in the use of these computer tools, guaranteeing employability and versatility and adaptability to relevant computer tools -- Here, a series of academic engineering lectures focused in teaching different computer tools throughout product life cycle and based on needs and limitations of local industry will be explained for a Colombian postgraduate programme
