In any organization engaged in product development, knowledge resides in various formats spanned over numerous processes. Knowledge-based engineering provides structured approach to locate these sources, capture, define and implement the knowledge in product development lifecycle at appropriate phases.

Traditional Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems used in product design and development activities provide enhanced interfaces to capture design knowledge. Sequential programming and Object oriented programming are two main methods being followed in achieving the same.
