Abstract
The impact of software engineering and CAD/CAM upon the design of mechanical and production engineering degree courses is examined. It is suggested that software engineering should become an integral part of the degree course curriculum in each course year. The hardware and software requirements of CAD/CAM and software engineering are discussed. The CAD/CAM system used in the School of Mechanical, Aeroanautical and Production Engineering at Kingston Polytechnic is briefly described. Recent examples of CAD/CAM software packages developed primarily by final year undergraduates of the School are presented.
