Abstract: | This contribution deals with recent initiatives and developments relative to various aspects of computer-aided design in the largest Belgian faculty of engineering. After a brief survey of the engineering curriculum, the various computer facilities as well as the main software packages available, are highlighted. The presence of some important research centres, closely collaborating with the faculty considerably enhances the efforts of the university. The more general education CAE programs for students are described and also some specific CAD educational initiatives. A few typical research projects involving students collaboration as final thesis work are also reviewed. |
