ICT application in engineering education



ICT is a powerful tool for teaching and learning. The practices are dissiminated more widely and more quickly. Like what happend now, all universities have been standardise to use the same technologies in education such as in workshop, labarotary, and even in the class as well. So the students can apply their skills in factory although they are from different university. For example, for subject in engineering such as AutoCad (Computer Aided Drafting), we need to use the software to help to draft the more complicated drawing. It's help to draw more accurate, precise and exact structure and perfect drawing. The benefit can help student not to draw on the drawing paper, and just click and setting up the information.
In addition, we can store the file savely in the computer and can open it any time. The use of Autocad can save some time and the program have a lot of function which are can change the view section, 3D dimension and easy to adjust if there are some corrections.


On the other hand, the use of modern technologies also help in engineering education in Machining Workshop subject. We can see that the machine was invented with future information technology and the machine can process some milling, turning and either grinding or chamfering process. Its all about the cutting tools, the workpiece, the machine as well and the procedure of the process.We had learned all the process and the differences between all the machine and the uses of it. We noticed that different shapes need a different procedure which is the cutting tool and the cutting process. Sometimes, if there was an error, it will break the cutting tools or else the sounds of the cutting process seems a bit different from the actual one. Besides that, the advances of the machines makes the workshop practice that we done before have successfully makes the workpiece likes in order of the size, depths, diameter and the shapes.
