Doctor of Philosophy
(Computer Aided Design and Technology)

This Doctor of Computerized Design Technology program aims to improve the quality of research and professionalism in the field of Computerized Design Technology among educators, administrators in the education sector, teacher trainees, instructional designers and professionals in related fields. The program also aims to produce graduates who are able to integrate concepts in current theory, knowledge, experience and practice in order to be applied in line with the latest developments in computerized design technology, while producing graduates who are able to think critically in conducting research in computerized design technology. 

The program can be completed within :

Full-Time : 6 semester (minimum) – 10 semester (maximum)

Part-Time : 8 semester (minimum) – 14 semester (maximum)

**Students are required to attend at least one course of research methodology (GRU70104) throughout the study and meet the requirements of the audit course. Students may also be required to attend other courses on the Faculty’s proposal and meet the audit course requirements.

 

– CAD/CAM Integration: Investigating how computer-aided
design and computer-aided manufacturing can be integrated to improve efficiency
and productivity in various industries.

 

– Digital Prototyping: Developing new techniques and
methodologies for creating virtual prototypes using CAD technology, reducing
the need for physical prototyping and testing.

 

– Geometric Modeling: Advancing the theory and algorithms
used in CAD systems for representing and manipulating 2D and 3D objects.

 

– Human-Computer Interaction in CAD: Studying how users
interact with CAD systems and developing user-friendly interfaces to improve
design productivity and effectiveness.

 

– Simulation and Analysis in CAD: Developing new
computational techniques and tools for simulating and analyzing complex
designs, such as structural analysis, fluid flow analysis, or thermal analysis.

 

– CAD in Product Development: Investigating how CAD
technology can be used effectively throughout the entire product development
process, from concept creation to manufacturing.

 

– Data Exchange and Interoperability: Addressing challenges
in exchanging CAD data between different systems and developing standards for
interoperability to support collaboration and data integration.
