Abstract
SUMMARY The provision of education and training almost always lags behind the needs of industry. This is particularly so in the case of rapidly developing high technology fields such as CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacture), where the educational sector finds it difficult to keep up with industry's requirements not only because of the rapid growth rate, but also because of the high level of funding which is required to purchase and maintain suitable facilities. Two education/training initiatives are described in this paper. The first of these is a pack of resource material for lecturers teaching CAD/CAM to undergraduate level, and the second is a training course for the managers of CAD/CAM systems which is part of the U.K. Manpower Services Commission's Open Tech programme.
