Computer Aided Design (CAD) has evolved from electronic versions of hand‐drawn sketches into comprehensive, multidimensional modelling environments that underpin modern engineering and manufacturing.

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

To identify the information technologies required for a computer-aided system to support materials selection, the committee articulated a future vision of a full-function Computer-Aided Materials ...
