MS-WORD
It is a graphical word processing program that
users can type with.
Purpose of the MS Word is to allow the users to
type and save documents.
MS-EXCEL
It is a spreadsheet application.
Features calculation, graphing tools, pivot
tables, and a macro programming language
called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
MS-POWERPOINT
It is a complete presentation graphics package.
Offers word processing, outlining, drawing,
graphing, and presentation management tools--
all designed to be easy to use and learn.
MS - OUTLOOK
It is a personal information manager. Mainly used
as an email application. Functions include a
calendar, task manager, contact manager, note
taking, journal, and web browsing.
MS-PUBLISHER
It is an publishing application, differing from MS -
WORD in that emphasis is placed on page layout &
design rather than text composition and proofing.
MS - ACCESS
It is a database management system (DBMS) that
combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database
Engine with a Graphical user interface (GUI) and
software-development tools.
MS-PROJECT
It is a project management software to keep track
of events and to create network charts and Gantt
charts.
MS-VISIO
It is a diagram & flowcharting making software
Create flowcharts, network diagrams,
organisational charts, floor plans, engineering
designs etc.
INTRODUCTION TO CAD
Integration of CS techniques in engineering
design
Use of computers (hardware & software) for
designing products using numerical methods,
optimizations etc.
2D/3D drafting
3D modeling for visualization
Modeling curves, surfaces, solids, mechanism,
assemblies, etc.
AUTOCAD
TYPES OF CAD SOFTWARE
2D - relies on basic geometric shapes like lines,
rectangles, circles, etc. to produce flat drawings.
3D - allows creation of 3D images that are
realistic. These images are called 3D models as
they can be viewed and rotated in any direction –
X, Y or Z. 3D can be further classified as:
a) Wire-frame models – they create skeleton like
models with lines and arcs. Since they appear to be
made of wires, and everything in the background is
visible, they are called wire-frame models. They are
not very popular anymore.
3D TYPES Cont’d...
b) Surface models – unlike wire frames, these
models are created by joining 3D surfaces. Since
nothing in the background is visible, the surface
models are quite realistic.
c) Solid models – they are considered to be the most
useful CAD models. Although they appear to be
the same as surface models, they also have
additional properties like weight, volume and
density, just like actual physical objects. These
models are commonly used as prototypes to
study engineering designs.
ALGORITHMS
Sequence of steps to be performed in order to
solve a problem by the computer.
Example
The call-me algorithm:
 When your train arrives, call my mobile phone.
Meet me outside the railway station.
There are often many different algorithms to
accomplish any given task.
Each algorithm has advantages and
disadvantages in different situations
REASON/BENEFITS USING ALGORITHMS

Efficiency: time, cost


Abstraction: complicated problems can be
distilled into simpler ones for which well
known algorithms.
Reusability: Algorithms are often reusable in
many different situations.
EXPRESSING ALGORITHMS
 many different notations: natural languages,
pseudocode, flowcharts.

a) Natural language: tend to be verbose/wordy


and ambiguous (rarely used for complex
algorithm).

b) Pseudocode and flowcharts: are structured


ways, avoid many ambiguities common in natural
language statements.
Sometimes it is helpful in the description of an algorithm to supplement small
flowcharts with natural language and/or arithmetic expressions written inside
block diagrams to summarize what the flowcharts are accomplishing.
EXAMPLE
 Algorithm using natural language statements:
 Assume the first item is largest.
 Look at each of the remaining items in the list and if it is
larger than the largest item so far, make a note of it.
 The last noted item is the largest item in the list when the
process is complete.

 Algorithm using pseudocode:


largest = La
for each item in the list (Length (L) ≥ 1), do
if the item ≥ largest, then
largest = the item
return largest
FLOWCHART
 It is a visual representation of the sequence of steps
and decisions needed to perform a process.
 Each step in the process is represented by a different
symbol and contains a short description of the
process step.
 The flow chart symbols are linked together with
arrows showing the process flow direction.
 A flowchart typically shows the flow of data in a
process.
 A flowchart is a powerful business tool. With proper
design and construction, it communicates the steps
in a process very effectively and efficiently.
USES OF FLOWCHARTS
 Planning a new project
 Documenting a process
 Modeling a business process
 Managing workflow
 Auditing a process
 Mapping computer algorithms
 Data management
 Chemical and process engineering
FLOWCHART SYMBOLS
FLOWCHART SYMBOLS
Example : Convert the length in feet to
centimeter
Algorithm:
 Step 1: Input Lft
 Step 2: Lcm ← Lft x 30
 Step 3: Print Lcm

Pseudocode:
 Input the length in feet (Lft)
 Calculate the length in cm (Lcm)
by multiplying LFT with 30
 Print length in cm (LCM)
