+
+Computer aided design uses computers to help produce designs that can be
+modified and optimized at a much faster rate than can be done manually. CAD
+software can be used to redesign the layout of homes without needing to
+physically alter the home. This type of modeling allows for faster iterations
+and allows for experimentation that would be more costly and time consuimg to do
+in the real world. This type of design relates to this chapter because this type
+of computer aided modeling assists with simulating the real world.
+
+Computer aided manufacturing (CAM) is used to improve the speed and accuracy of
+production of manufactured goods. I don't think this type of design is as
+closely related to this chapter because it assists with the production of goods
+rather than running simulations. CAD can be used to design a manufacturing
+system that is aided by computers but I don't think that CAM itself is a type of
+computer modeling.
