CAD: (1) Computer Software
The acronym CAD stands for computer-aided design today, and the term encompasses a wide range of computer-based tools that assist engineers in their design activities.
Earlier, an alternative reading "computer-assisted drafting" was in use. A related acronym, CADD, stands for "computer-assisted drafting and design". It refers to the designing and technical drawing of various engineering or architectural projects on a computer rather than a traditional drawing board.
Since early days of computers they were used to perform calculations for designers. It is argued that a turning point was the development of SKETCHPAD system in MIT in 1963 by Ivan Sutherland. The distinctive feature of SKETCHPAD was that it allowed the designer to interact with computer graphically: the design can be fed into the computer by drawing on a CRT monitor with a light pen. Effectively, it was a prototype of graphical user interface, an indispensable feature of modern CAD.
First commercial applications of CAD were in large companies in automotive and aerospace industry, as well as in electronics. As computers started being more affordable, the application area gradually expanded.
CAD implementations have evolved dramatically since then. When the field was initially established it was typically limited to producing drawings similar to hand drafted drawings. Advances in computer technology have allowed more skillful application of computers in design activities. Today CAD is not limited to drafting and rendering, and it ventures into more "intellectual" areas of designer's expertise.
The capabilities of modern CAD systems include
Development in CAD resulted in the following tools and methods:
- Reuse of design components (so-called "IP")
- Ease of design modification and versioning
- Automatical generation of standard components of the design
- Validation/verification of designs against specifications and design rules
- Simulation of designs without building a physical prototype
- Automated design of assemblies, which are collections of parts and/or other assemblies
- Output of engineering documentation, such as manufacturing drawings, and Bill of Materials
- Output of design directly to manufacturing facilities
- wireframes
- solid modelling
- graphically represented system or plant diagrams and databases
- parametric design models
- real-time process simulation
- computer numerically controlled (CNC) load files (toolpath instructions)
- FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Engineering is the application of science to the needs of humanity. This is accomplished through knowledge, mathematics and practical experience applied to the design of useful objectss or processes. Its practitioners are called engineers.
Engineers form the bridge between the two distinct worlds of the scientist and the layman. They interpret science for the layman. A scientist asks "Why...?" and thus follows an open-ended research career, whereas an engineer always asks "How...?". That is, he has the problem in hand, knows what solution it requires and tries to find out different ways of implementing it.
There is a difference between an engineer and a technologist though the terms are often used interchangeably. Once an engineer has found a solution for the problem at hand his work stops. The next phase is fine tuning the solution, which is in the domain of the technologist. This process is dependent on various factors which vary with time. A solution which could be a practical application of a scientific fact does not satisfy a technologist. He endeavours to bring it within the economic constraints so that the common man not only understands and marvels at science but also is able to enjoy it and lose his fear of it by constant interaction.
For example, when Edison developed the phonograph it was marveled at. That was engineering. But when he asked his assistant to develop it further so as to remove some harmonics from the sound, that was technology. Because only then could one listen to it and enjoy.
This also explains the time gap between a fact being understood by science, then being implemented by engineers, and then being available from the local shop.
The task of engineering
The engineer must identify and understand the relevant constraints in order to produce a successful design. Constraints include available resources, physical or technical limitations, flexibility for future modifications and additions, and other factors such as requirements for cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and marketing and aesthetic, social, or ethic considerations. By understanding the constraints, engineers deduce specifications for the limits within which an object or system may be produced and operated. Engineering is therefore a contingent enterprise influenced by many considerations.
Problem solving
Engineers use their knowledge of science and mathematics, and appropriate experience, to find suitable solutions to a problem. Creating an appropriate mathematical model of a problem allows them to analyze it (perhaps, but exceptionally, definitively), and to test potential solutions. If multiple reasonable solutions exist, engineers evaluate the different design choices on their merits and choose the solution that best meets the requirements.
Engineers typically attempt to predict how well their designs will perform to their specifications prior to full-scale production. They use, among other things: prototypes, scale models, simulations, destructive testss, and stress testss. Testing ensures that products will perform as expected. Engineers as professionals take seriously their responsibility to produce designs that will perform as expected and will not cause unintended harm to the public at large. Engineers typically include a factor of safety in their designs to reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
Use of computers
Computers, and design software, play an increasingly important role. Using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, engineers are able to capture more information about their designs. The computer can automatically translate some models to instructions suitable for automatic machinery (e.g. CNC) to fabricate (part of) a design. The computer also allows increased reuse of previously developed designs by presenting an engineer with a library of predefined parts ready to be used in his own designs.
Etymology
It is a myth that engineer originated to describe those who built engines. In fact, the words engine and engineer (as well as ingenious) developed in parallel from the Latin root ingeniosus, meaning 'skilled'. An engineer is thus a clever, practical, problem solver. The spelling of engineer was later influenced by back-formation from engine. The term later evolved to include all fields where the skills of application of the scientific method are used. In other languages like Arabic, the word for "engineering" also means "geometry".
Connections to other disciplines
Science attempts to explain newly observed and unexplained phenomena, often creating mathematical models of observed phenomena. Technology and engineering are attempts at practical application of knowledge (often from science). Scientists work on science; engineers work on technology. However, there is often an overlap between science and engineering. It is not uncommon for scientists to become involved in the practical application of their discoveries; thereby becoming, for the moment, engineers. Conversely, in the process of developing technology engineers sometimes find themselves exploring new phenomena, thus becoming, for the moment, scientists.
There are also close connections between the workings of engineers and artists; they are direct in some fields, eg architecture and industrial design, and indirect in all. Artistic and engineering creativity may be fundamentally connected.

Engineering and science are two distinct discplines.Science is pure, it is about knowledge - how and why things behave the way they do.
Engineering is applied, it uses scientific knowledge to engineer a solution to some problem.
For example, a scientist might measure the strength of bars made from various materials and of various sizes, determine a law expressing how much each material deforms under various loads and then attempt to explain the law in terms of more fundamental principles. An engineer designing a window lintel could use that information to determine of what material and how large the lintel should be.

Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to minimise the adverse effects of human activities on the environment (pollution of air, water, and/or land resources), and to provide healthful water, air and land for human habitation and for other organisms. Although it is widely considered impossible to eliminate all negative impact, it is thought human effects can be decreased and controlled through public education, conservation, regulations, and the application of good engineering practices (set up of processes, and facilities).
Development of environmental engineering
Two of the principal environmental problems are
"Pollutants" may be chemical, biological, thermal, radioactive, or even mechanical. Environmental engineering emphasizes several areas: process engineering, environmental chemistry, water and wastewater treatment (sanitary engineering), waste reduction, and pollution prevention. It is a synthesis, incorporating elements from civil engineering, chemical engineering, public health, mechanical engineering, chemistry, biology and geology.
- the increasing number of humans on Earth. Along this line, one of the first applications of environmental engineering is the removal of sewage from cities, which became increasingly important as population grew. There was (and in many countries, still is) initially no treatment: wastes are, for example, simply brought to the nearest stream. However, since sewage disposal eventually damages natural waters, methods of treating wastewater prior to discharge were developed. This has evolved into a large industry.
- the second major factor is the rising standard of living in many nations, such as in Europe and Australia. A higher living standard generates more consumption of natural resources and more wastes. The standard of living of developed nations is due in part to development of synthetic chemical industry in the XX century and to the exploitation of fossil fuels for energy production. These industries produced toxic and hazardous chemicals in great quantities long before they were known to be dangerous. Unlike sewage, even small amounts of these molecules may be harmful, but the technology to detect them at low levels did not exist when the new industries appeared. It was then impossible to detect and identify them as factors in human health or environmental problems. There were initially no attempts to control their production, use and disposal.
