1.0 Background of study

All manufacturer company around the world now has been used CAM software in their production caused by high demand on efficiency and quality in market and advantages that applied by this software. With globalization and intensive competition of the manufacturing product market now among manufacturer company,CAM has been developed rapidly in designing and machining product. In University Malaysia Pahang, Computer Aided Manufacturing(CAM) is used widely among lecturer especially instructor engineer and student from mechanical and manufacturing faculty. For example university has offer the CAM subject for student for one semester in order to train student become expertise on it. There has a some student who used or applied CAM in their project because it advantages in helping designing and machining workpiece. However there are many students who do not applied computer aided manufacturing software in their product.From this study is aim to looking out what advantages do UMP manufacturing student find in using computer aided manufacturing in creating their product or part.

1.1 Research Objective

1.1.1 To explore what advantages when using Computer aided Manufacturing among manufacturing student.
1.1.2 To find out how important of Computer aided Manufacturing software helping student create their products.

1.2 Research Question

1.2.1 What advantages of Computer Aided Manufacturing?
1.2.2 How much do UMP manufacturing student apply Computer Aided Manufacturing in creating product?

1.3 Definition of terms

Computer Aided Manufacturing is the one engineering software that quite often used among the engineers and machinist in engineering field especially in mechanical field and manufacturing sector and more specifically in term of production. Computer Aided Manufacturing also assist engineer to improving the effectiveness in creating and designing part or product which is came out with high dimensional accuracy, flexibility and quality.


1.4 Review of methodology

A survey has been chosen as the methodology of our study. This survey will be conducted within a range from one to two weeks. The respondents are Manufacturing Engineering students of University Malaysia Pahang. The respondents will be included from both first and second year of study. A survey questionaire will be provided for the respondents to be answered. There are three sections in the questionaire as it will able to answer the research objectives of the study. All the questionaires will be collected immediately to analyze the results. Then, a table and graph will be included to preview the statistics of the questionaire.


1.5 Organization of chapter

1.5.1 Introduction
Introduction is all about background of the proposal report, which related with title that has we choose, and then an objective that we want to achieve on this project, lastly is definition of terms

1.5.2 Review of literature
Each of teams members must have at least 3 article,then each person must have their own section which is first is 'what is cam?', second is 'application' and lastly is 'problem'. From the article, each members must summarize about the section base on the article.

1.5.3 Methodology
In methodology there has a three parts, firstly participants, this parts describe about the questionnaire information such as gender, age, faculty, also how many person that we want to interview and with random or nonrandom. The second one is about the data collection instrument. In this part, there is a survey questionnaire and describe about parts and questions, there has a three section, which is section a, section b and section c.
