Improving the Design Process

The Cambridge Engineering Design Centre undertakes research to create knowledge, understanding, methods and tools that will contribute to improving the design process. This will be achieved through:

  • Innovative fundamental and applied research;
  • Knowledge transfer via education, training, publications and industrial collaboration; and
  • Promotion of the importance and benefits of engineering design in the UK.

Featured Project

Cambridge Advanced Modeller (CAM)

An up-dated alpha-release of CAM is available. CAM is a software tool for modelling and analysing the dependencies and dynamics of complex systems - such as products, processes and organisations. It provides a diagramming and simulation along with more advanced techniques such as Design Structures Matrix (DSM). CAM is free to use for research, teaching and evaluation. It is now being used in several companies and research groups. For more information and to download the tool, click here.
