Actually I was thinking more in terms of a case study or something simple like fms.

the real problem is I the lack of time. :(

So, you want a case study that has already been performed, preferrably something not too old and really complete?

Something you would copy and submit as your own work?

You've got me wrong.

My intention was never copying someone else's work.

But what type of real research can an undergraduate student do. At the most what I can do is search online for the topic or get the guidance of a few of my teachers.

Nobody would count that for real work done anyways.

By now, i'd thinnk you would have joined some organizations whhich you might use as resources.

They didn't even have calculators when I went to school.

We got all our information out of books.

Sorry, I'm no help to you.

Wow,

That's deep. FMS? Almost sounds like a laxative.

I think you've got it wrong. I was reffering to FMS as in 'Flexible Manufacturing Systems'

But thank you for the support anyways.

Well you could see how CAD/CAM comparison as to how it used to be done, like from a board. This could be cost savings in man hours, information, stress analysis. I do not know where you would get the information, that is the students (you) job.

I suggest that you consider presenting a paper on the limitations of CAD/CAM.

It has been my experience, over the past ten years, that the combination of CAD/CAM and the oversupply of overly enthusiastic MBAs has led to project and engineering disasters.

Too much is promised by those with little complete understanding of the engineering/design process.

Expensive things fail, CAD operators are blamed for things that they don't understand, MBAs move on and engineers are finally called in after the failure.

Just my opinion.....
