Explore use of AI to teach computer-aided tech at varsities

LETTERS: It is high time to explore the potential, opportunities and challenges of Artificial Intelligence in teaching computer-aided technology courses at universities in Malaysia.

The use of computer-aided technology allows for more efficient and precise design, simulation and production processes, resulting in higher quality products and improved productivity.

At universities, teaching courses in computer-aided technology generally comprise of courses on CAD (computer-aided design), CAE (computer-aided engineering) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing).

In brief, CAD involves using computer software to create 2D or 3D models of physical objects, CAE involves using computer simulations to analyse the behaviour of these CAD models under different conditions and CAM involves using computer-controlled machines to manufacture physical objects based on the CAD models.
