designed. CAD, which is the use of a wide-range of computer-based tools fordesigning and developing products, is an important geometry-authoring tool for the productlifecycle management. It ranges from 2D vector-based drafting systems to 3D parametric surfaceand solid design modeling systems. In the product lifecycle a physical prototype can be producedfrom drawings or from a computer-aided manufacturing system (CAM). The prototype is thentested for design compliance and produced for mass production in the manufacturing division.When Internet technologies were adopted in the engineering design industry in the 1990's, workin engineering design was restructured. Collaboration is the trend of today in order to benefitboth higher education and

assessingstudents’ spatial visualization ability. However, more studies of using realistic 3D views inspatial visualization tests administered to different groups of students and on other campuses areneeded to confirm this finding.AcknowledgementThe author would like to thank Theophilus Acquaye, Assistant Professor of MechanicalEngineering Technology at Essex County College, for helping conducting some of the tests inhis classes.Bibliography1.

are chosen to be relevant and interesting tostudents, along with careful step-by-step instructions on the use of the DS and DA modules as adesign aid. The tutorial is comprehensive and easy to navigate, and it can be used as asupplementary teaching aid in an introductory mechanism design course, but also as a tool tolearn to use advanced design modules available from Autodesk Inventor.The main challenges in developing these types of tutorial packages are: 1) frequent releases ofupdated versions of the featured program (in this instance, Autodesk Inventor Professional) makeit challenging to keep the tutorial current, and 2) the development of a high-quality custom-designed instructional tutorial requires that the developer(s) be both

. Literature on data visualization spans several decades—from the time wherevisualization activities required significant and dedicated computing facilities and proprietarysoftware, to distributed and collaborative visualization using inexpensive yet powerful desktopcomputers. 9, 10, 11Currently, visualization technologies are at a critical crossroad. Will data visualization remainthe provenance of an elite few or will structures and approaches arise to distribute its Page 12.1594.4functionality to those who can best make use of its potential? It is the modern equivalent of the1990’s centralized versus decentralized computing conflict.In this
