Future of CAE and Implication on Engineering Education.

In this paper, the trend of FEM which is one of core tools of CAE and the future of CAE are examined in terms of TRIZ concept. This observation leads to the necessity of engineering creativity. This paper reports our successful experiences of implementing systematic innovation tools into engineering design classes. Also potential revolutionary change of engineering education is hinted by extending the accomplishments (if TRIZ. It can innovate the current engineering curricula and an on-going study of classifying the engineering activities is introduced.
