Abstract

Design process is the essential technology for development of industry in nation, but contrary to its significance the trial for development of design technology is not so active because it requires a lot of time and efforts to educate design engineers. For that reason, most of enterprises concentrated their efforts for improving product technologies to get instant effects in short periods, and through these trials considerable results could be achieved. Recently, however, many people realized that industrial development through only product technology without design technology has limits, accordingly, a lot of efforts, to educate machine designers whom have enough knowledge and ability on design through advanced design technology, concentrated for industrial development. In general, the curriculum of conventional education for machine design in most universities is mainly compose of three subjects, the theory for elements design, geometric modeling practice for mating engineering drawings using CAD software, and analysis of elements using CAE software fur determining whether proposed solution is correct or rational. Furthermore, because these three subject are provided for students as the completely separated subjects, most of students who have educated with this method have no enough ability to Integrate all design process into a comprehensive whole process. This paper proposes a new design education methodology through reverse engineering that can overcome these problems of conventional education method.
