Plenary Panel Discussion

With the recent trend toward virtual product development involving the use of sophisticated computer-based tools (e.g., CAD, CAM, and CAE), there is an increasing need for more engineers at all levels with not only an understanding of engineering basics, but also an understanding of product development, and the capabilities of the tools used. This panel discussion will address this need. Specifically, topics the panel will address are:

• Industry needs for new engineers in a virtual product development environment
• Educational and background experience requisites
• Courses offered, or planned to be offered by universities
• The role of students in transferring the results of recent research to industry
• Fitting into curricula the teaching of the use of software
• The role of software manufacturers in supporting this process
• The function of cooperative programs in industry, academia and government
• The role of government labs and technical/professional societies

The panel chaired by Dr. Rohde will be comprised of

• Industry executives involved with product development, computational methods and the hiring and deployment of personnel
• Professors with expertise in computational technology
• Executives from major software/hardware companies
• Representatives from government labs
• Representatives from the education arm of major societies

Format

The format will be to have each panel member present for 5-10 minutes, followed by an open question and answer session.
