Introduction to computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) theory and applications. Topics include CAD/CAM systems and integration, geometric modeling, process planning, and tool path generation, CAD/CAM interfacing with CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines, machining, and CNC programming.
Master of Engineering (ME) in CAD/CAM is a two-year full-time postgraduate program. The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Program is to benefit society at large by providing technical education to interested and capable students.

2. Students are required to take the GATE exam. Additionally, some colleges also ask for an entrance exam.
3. The total scores are weighed, and accordingly, the candidate is chosen.
4. There is no upper age limit for ME CAD CAM.
Admission Process
Admission to M.E. / M.Tech. programs will be based on marks/grades and university entrance test.
Career after M.E (CADCAM)
After completing this course students may find employment in manufacturing plants (in engineering design, drafting, production quality control, and programming/operating numerical control machines), consulting engineering offices (in engineering design and drafting), or research and design offices (in product design, prototype development, solid modeling, and advanced stress analysis).
After completing ME CAD-CAM, students can get into industries like architectural design, landscape design, interior design, civil-related design, textile design, industrial plant design, and many more. The course helps prepare students for design positions that require skillful and imaginative solutions to solve engineering problems.
