Abstract
This paper shows how information technology (IT) is integrated into the manufacturing education curriculum at the Instituto Tecnolo´gico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey in Mexico and the Universitat de Girona in Spain, with similar approaches that include: a) web-based manufacturing education tools, and b) advanced CAD/CAM/CAE, with emphasis on manufacturing process CAE. The paper describes the general structure of the mentioned approaches and their application through the following case studies in Spain: a) web-based machining advisor (including general process information and machining parameter specification) and Mexico: b) application of manufacturing process CAE for tooling development.
