Computer - Aided Learning in Engineering Education

This paper discusses the role of computer-aided learning (CAL) in engineering education. In this study, some descriptions about computer aided learning were explained. Existing engineering education are handled and definition, importance and quality of education was expressed. In recent years, the positive results seen that the use of computer aided learning in engineering education. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer aided engineering (CAE) is becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, computer's have become very essential for applications in engineering and in engineering education. Computer training and computer assisted instruction should be expanded. Visual thinking and design before you build the object as a tool available to perform by computer. Thus, experiments that cannot be done in the laboratory, it is possible to make with the virtual laboratory that was generated by computer. Engineering educations goal is to develop design capabilities and computer-based training is the best tool for this purpose. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
