Abstract

Engineering has used and benefitted from the use of computers since their inception. Technology advancements over the past ten years have allowed changes in engineering processes, shifting emphasis from problem solving and digitizing conventional product definition to the widespread sharing of data throughout many functions within an enterprise. Driven by industry goals to improve customer value, modern engineering processes are evolving into an information system environment to speed product development and introduction while simultaneously improving product quality. Key to this shift is the availability of three-dimensional geometry software on cost-effective platforms and effective data base structures linked by communication management systems. Within the context of government and industry striving toward an Electronic Commerce Environment, engineering processes improvement will become more dependent on information systems and its technology, perhaps culminating in the creation of “virtual machines” as simulated prototypes of an actual product.
