...Abstract The paper investigates the use of computer aided instruction (CAI) in teaching and learning mathematics. It also explores the use of Instructional Materials Aided Methods (IMAM) as a close substitute. From the study, it was clear that computer-aided instruction enhanced the students performance in mathematics The design of the study was experimental. The hypothesis were tested using T-ratio at 0.05 level of significance and a reliability index of 0.85 was calculated from the test items; while the data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Introduction One of the problems of teaching and learning is the method of imparting knowledge to learners. According to stone (1991), the major difficulty in sciences is the method by which the subjects were customarily taught without regard to instructional materials. The pedagogical approach in imparting knowledge to learners has become inadequate to their needs. Mathematics, like other science subjects, recorded poor students performance both in national and international examination (Ali, 1983). Many factors contributed to the performance of students in mathematics examination Akale, (1996), Okebukola and Jegede (1996), Ottiah (1997) and Ali (1998). The factors include: a. Inability of the mathematics teachers to put across the mathematics concepts to the students. b. Lack of skills and competence required for teaching mathematics. c. Shortage of qualified mathematics teachers. d. Lack of teaching materials...

...How exactly does a 3D printer work? Before the 3D printer was developed, the 2D printer was still a fascinating machine to many people. With a 2D printer, what was printed out on a piece of paper was put together and designed on a computer program such as Microsoft Word or Presentations. The file that the printed image or information was created in holds the instructions that the printer is to follow. A 3D printer also needs a file and instructions to print. The goods or designs that are printed can be customized, because altering them will not require complete retooling, only slightly adjusting the instructions in the software. The file is known as a Computer Aided Design (CAD) or Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) file that requires the use of a 3D modeling program, or with a 3D model using a 3D scanner. This software quickly slices the model or design on the program into hundreds or thousands of thin-sliced, horizontal layers. The layers get printed one by one atop of one another until the 3D object is complete. Owners of 3D printers can choose between 2 types of plastic strands: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or polylactic acid (PLA). Some 3D printers can use both kinds of plastic, while others only work with one. These plastics are available on spools with plastic strands/strings that are usually 1.75 millimeters thick or 3 millimeters thick. Gears work to pull the filament through the print head. Immediately before it is pushed through the pointed nozzle, the...

...is a computer program that uses knowledge to solve complex problems. The knowledge’s are gain using various knowledge representation techniques rules, frames and scripts. Having this in hand, will gave user documentation of knowledge, intelligent decision support, self learning, reasoning and explanation of the system. Knowledge based systems further enhanced the expert system technology into the decision making framework. Expert system has been the tools and techniques perfected by researchers to deduce decision influences based on codification of knowledge. There are four different system software’s needed to manufacture part (e.g. Fish Head) in the manufacturing production. First of all is Computer Aided Design (CAD). It involves the use of computer to create design drawing and product models. The CAD design is usually associated with interactive computer graphics known as CAD system. CAD is the process to create the modeling for object by using the three elements which are computer graphics, geometry modeling and design. CAD system is a powerful tool and is used in the design and geometric modeling of components and products (McMohan, C. and Browne, J. 1998). Second is the Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP). It is a tool to simplify and improve process planning. The planning begins with engineering drawings, specifications, parts or material lists and a forecast of demand (Kalpakjian, S. and Schmid, S. 2006). Thirdly is Computer Aided...

...and 3rd computer-aided design and drafting. Available since 1982 as a desktop application since 2010 as a mobile web and cloud-based application marketed as AUTOCAD 360. AUTOCAD was first released in December 1982, running on microcomputers with internal graphic controllers. Prior to the introduction of AUTOCAD, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate graphical terminal. AUTOCAD is used across a wide range of industries, by architecture, project managers, engineers, designers, and other professionals. it is supported by 750 training centers worldwide as of 1994. As Autodesk’s flagship product, by March 1986 AUTOCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide. As of 2014, AUTOCAD is in its twenty-ninth generation, and collectively with all its variants continues to be the most widely use CAD program throughout most of the world.

...features, and high quality. Increasing sales at the Orlando, Florida, family-owned firm suggests that the strategy is working. Differentiation goes beyond physical characteristics to encompass everything about the boat that influences the value that the customers derive from it. Operations managers at Regal assist in defining everything about their boats that will influence the potential value to the customer. This may be the convenience of a broad product line, product features, or product service. Product service can manifest itself through convenience (location of boat distributors or stores), training, boat delivery, or maintenance services. As a quality boat manufacturer, Regal Marine starts with continuous innovation, as reflected in computer aided design (CAD), high-quality molds, and close tolerances that are controlled through both defect charts and rigorous visual inspection. The CAD technology speeds the development process. A Regal design engineer can start with...
