This game can be used to introduce a series of three lessons which contextualise computer-aided design (CAD) within current engineering practice and digital technologies, by following the development of a new product.
To deliver the lessons the Siemens NX Student Edition design and make software needs to be downloaded which can be found on the following link. It is suggested that teachers familiarise themselves with this software before delivering the lessons.
