Supplementary material The Faculty of Computer-Aided Design
The Faculty of Computer-Aided Design (former Faculty of Design and Technology) was established in 1973. Today it is the largest faculty in the University. The faculty has 6 departments, among them are the Department of Radioelectronic Facilities, the Department of Computer Facilities, the Department of Modern Electronic Technologies. More than 100 instructors are working at the faculty including 15 professors, 7 nominees of the State Prize of the Republic of Belarus (A.P. Dostanko, V.V. Baranov, M.M. Tkhostov, A.A. Khmyl, N.I. Domaryonok, S.V. Bordusov, S.P. Kundas) and 56 docents.
The training is held on 6 specialities (Electronic computing devices; Design and manufacture of radioelectronics devices; Modelling and computer-aided design of radioelectronics devices; Electronic and optic engineering; Medical electronics; Technical ensuring of security).
About 1400 students and 50 post-graduates study in numerous class-rooms, research and development study laboratories.
The educational process is carried out on the basis of modern information technologies. The faculty has 7 specialized computer centers, including computer graphics, machine-oriented design of electronic computing devices, RES CAD systems, computer modelling and design of technological systems.
Immense assistance in training of engineers at the faculty is provided by leading scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and specialists of Minsk enterprises: Production Association "Integral", "Belvar", Computers Production Association, "BelOMO", Watch Producing Enterprise "Lutch" etc. The faculty prepares a group of engineers with advanced special training to meet the request of "Integral" Production Association.
The practical experience and the results of research works of departments and laboratories are incorporated in more than 50 monographs, textbooks, educational books, and scientific articles published in national and foreign issues.
The faculty cooperates with Aachen Technical University (Germany), University of Applied Sciences (Germany), Bialystok Technical University (Poland), Xidian University (China), Zhejiang University (China), Salford University (UK), Stuttgart and Leipzig Universities (Germany), Baltic University (Swiden) and a number of foremost Universities of Russia and Ukraine.
Computer-Aided Design From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of a wide range of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects and other design professionals in their design activities. It is the main geometry authoring tool within the Product Lifecycle Management process and involves both software and sometimes special-purpose hardware. Current packages range from 2D vector based drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modellers.
CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted", "computer-aided drafting", or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computer-aided design and drafting", CAID for Computer-aided Industrial Design and CAAD, for "computer-aided architectural design". All these terms are essentially synonymous, but there are some subtle differences in meaning and application.
