what are desktop publishing software
enables professional designers to create sophisticated documents that contain text, graphics, and many colours.
is ideal for the production of high-quality colour documents such as textbooks, corporate newsletters, marketing literature, product catalogues, and annual reports.
Designers and graphic artists can print finished publications on a colour printer, take them to a professional printer, or post them on the Web in a format that can be viewed by those without DTP software.
what is geographical information system
GIS helps Civil engineers in several application
what is location-allocation
-Finding a subset of locations from a set of potential or candidate locations that best serve some existing demand so as minimize some cost
-Locate sites to best serve allocated demand
-Application areas are warehouse location, fast food locations, fire stations, schools
what is transportation
Planning & locating new roadway corridors
what is computer aided design
use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.
what does Cad allows engineers to do
mechanical engineers create designs for machines in the computer where:
-Very practical if changes are needed
-Plans can be sent electronically to supervisors or clients for approval
Electronic/electrical engineers during the design and development stages of a wide range of equipment, including radio, television, communications and computer systems, to design circuit boards and create wiring diagrams
what is computer aided engineering
use of software to simulate the effects of different conditions on the design of a product or structure using simulated loads and constraints.
CAE tools are often used to analyse and optimize the designs created within CAD software.
what is web authoring software
helps users of all skill levels create Web pages that include graphical images, video, audio, animation, and special effects with interactive content.
allow users to organize, manage, and maintain Web sites.
what is multimedia authoring software
allows users to combine text, graphics, audio, video, and animation in an interactive application
users control the placement of text and images and the duration of sounds, video, and animation.
multimedia presentations often take the form of interactive computer-based presentations or Web-based presentations designed to facilitate learning, demonstrate product functionality, and elicit direct-user participation.
what is video and editing software
allows professionals to modify a segment of a video, called a clip
Audio editing software lets users modify audio clips, produce studio quality soundtracks, and add audio to video clips.
print/imaging editing software
Graphic artists, multimedia professionals, technical illustrators, and desktop publishers use paint software and image editing software to create and modify graphical images
Professional photo editing software is a type of image editing software that allows photographers, video graphers, engineers, scientists, and other high-volume digital photo users to edit and customize digital photos
how do mechanical engineers use CAE
engineers can create virtual prototypes and subject them to virtual stresses to see how they perform.
what is cam?
defined as the use of software to automate manufacturing procedures.
translate CAD designs into instructions for machines, increasing the efficiency of producing parts and optimizing the amount of materials used
