technical studio space.When creating an online or hybrid course there are number of factors that must be taken intoconsideration. [4] These factors were researched in Lessons Learned from the Hybrid CourseProject. This project identified ten elements that need to be considered when developing a hybridcourse. 1. There is no standard approach to a hybrid course. 2. Redesigning a traditional course into a hybrid takes time. 3. Start small and keep it simple. Page 12.992.3 4. Redesign is the key to effective hybrid courses to integrate the face-to-face and online learning. 5. Hybrid courses facilitate interaction among students, and

design, testing and computer-aided manufacturing1. Not only must these individualcapabilities be acquired, but they must be integrated to perform the complete process so thatthere is computer control of all facets from conception through the finished product. Although itis possible for many corporations to acquire their own CAD/CAM systems, it is still necessaryfor them to find a source of engineering talent proficient in the design, implementation androutine use of such an important resource. The primary source of these new high-techprofessionals must come from the nation’s science and engineering colleges and universities.Loyola Marymount University is a private, Catholic co-educational university with colleges ofLiberal Arts, Communications

of teaching methods; utilizing acombination of simple strategies, with the goals of re-emphasizing the communicationsaspect of engineering graphics, giving students improved tools and techniques fordrawing, modeling, and analysis, and increasing learning and retention of thosetechniques. The individual methods used in combination include: extending the graphicsexposure throughout the first three years of the curriculum, making the courses designproject centered - with the integrated physical production of the projects as an essentialpart of the learning process, adopting a “corporate work environment” in some portionsof the classes, emphasizing the use of reference materials in the design and drawingprocess so that students will learn to be

Achieve an excellent project outcomeBy integrating the creative problem solving process into conceptual design, a dynamic is createdfor efficient learning which involves both explicit and tacit components in the most effectivesequence5. The goal is to provide a structure that will encourage students to follow the optimalsequence of steps to set the stage for a superior project outcome coupled with a solidunderstanding of the conceptual design process. Therefore, the last five criteria of Table 1 relateto capabilities that will enable students to meet sponsor expectations. They will also help

The newsequence of computer graphics courses in the BSMET curriculum are TechnologyComputer Applications, Practical Applications in Parametric Modeling, and ComputerAided Manufacturing.The Technology Computer Applications course introduces the multiple applications ofthe Unigraphics NX software capabilities in the context of a design project involvingmodeling, drafting, structures, manufacturing, and motion. The course also introducesapplications in the Microsoft Office Suite related to the computer graphics project usingExcel, Project, PowerPoint, and Word. The Practical Applications in ParametricModeling course integrates Unigraphics NX modeling, assemblies, motion and draftingmodules also using a design project approach. This course

Typically, the problems presented to employees in the real Page 12.1538.6world are ill structured problems with multiple unknown variable and no clearprototypical solutions. Jonassen (2000), in dealing with designing instruction for illstructured problems recommends a systematic approach to designing instruction in thisparticular case. First, begin with

closed-form equations to solve textbook problems that are well-defined and thathave a unique answer, e.g. statics, dynamics and strength of materials. However, these samestudents are unsure how to apply these fundamental principles and closed-form equations thefirst time they are given the task of doing an engineering design of a system where theparameters are such that multiple solutions are possible. To give students a first exposure to areal-world product-development team-environment scenario, the design and analysis of linkagesis used as the central topic to integrate engineering analysis, design, CAD, project managementand technical writing into a semester-long design project. The students work in teams of fourand take a loosely defined

Centers and Technical Curricula: A Proposal for StudyAbstractThis paper proposes to study how activities of technology-intensive visualization centers have orhave not been integrated into technical undergraduate curricula. The study focuses onvisualization centers applied to urban planning, engineering, construction, medicine, and science.The study is delimited and a set of preliminary research questions are proposed.IntroductionData visualization has become an important tool in science, engineering, and technologyeducation and practice.1 Technologies for interacting with complex multi-dimensional data havebecome economically feasible and functionally practicable as witnessed by the establishment of“Visualization
