Modeling for the 3D Future: CAD Course Redesign to Improve Student Learning Noelle Kartvedt *, Kaela M. Martin†, Johann Dorfling‡, Joseph W. Smith§AbstractThe Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) serves as powerfulsoftware for aerospace and automotive 3D modeling. We recently redesigned a computer aideddesign (CAD) class for aerospace engineers to ensure student success and an up-to-date curriculumwith applicable industry standards. We refocused the course material to establish relevancy toaerospace engineering as well as promote critical problem-solving skills while constructing parts,assemblies, and drawing sheets in CATIA. The goal of this study is to

In Their Own Words: How Engineering Students Adapted to Disruptive Transitions Between Online and In-Person Learning Tara Esfahani and David A. Copp Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering University of California, IrvineAbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented shift in students’ learning environments thatcaused students who planned on in-person instruction to learn online instead. This changeaffected students’ learning attitudes, anxiety, and success. In this work, we present students’personal voices to better understand how sudden disruptions in education affected students overnearly two years of transitioning between

included eleven finalists presenting theirgraduate research in front of an audience of graduate and undergraduate engineeringstudents, staff, and faculty. The finalists came from a variety of engineering departmentsand were in various stages of their graduate education. They represented thedepartments of computer science, electrical and computer engineering, electricalengineering, industrial and systems engineering, aerospace and mechanicalengineering, and biomedical engineering, with one finalist in his eighth year of graduateschool, one in his seventh year, two in their sixth year, three in their fifth years, two intheir fourth years, and two third-year students. The judging panel consisted of USCengineering professors in electrical and computer
