Abstract
If you are reasonably comfortable and familiar with computers then skip this chapter and start with “CAD/CAM and its value” on page 13.

It is ironic that engineers, who have been the agents of the technological revolution in society, should now undergo a sharper change in their working methods than anybody else has ever experienced!
