Abstract :
This paper indicates, based on the author´s teaching experience in an ABET-accredited mechanical engineering technology program, that education of computer-aided manufacturing in an engineering technology program requires of the students more knowledge of the fundamentals in basic sciences and technical sciences. The author discusses the course of robotics applications as an example. The author discusses some of the teaching materials in the course following the ABET criteria and indicates that engineering basics is very important for the course
