The students are introduced to the main stages of the engineering design process. Special attention is paid to the practical use of contemporary and available CAD systems in the design of various engineering projects (ie. "CAD outside"). The students acquire basic information about the so-called "CAD from inside" – ie. learn mathematical algorithms and capabilities for programming within CAD environment. The subjects of discussion and use are also engineering activities directly related to the engineering design process as: analysis of engineering projects, solve optimization problems, modeling and simulation and rational use of the Internet.
