traditionally focused syllabus. The understanding of geometric and descriptive principles in the context of predefined applications is now governed by a subject that supports conceptual endeavours. DCG provides students with the opportunity to develop a skill set that will allow them explore and learn within and beyond their subject domain through the medium of design without make. With the objective of codifying the initial teacher education practices, an introspective analysis was taken to explore student‟s performance within a core graphics module at the University of Limerick. Students from year 3 of the undergraduate Materials and Construction Education and Materials and Engineering

The project team has recently broadened the data available tostudents by incorporating the following wind turbines into the project: • Bergey 10-kW, Jockey's Ridge State Park, Nags Head, NC-- power: wild AC from turbine, 240V 60Hz AC from inverter; energy: ~1,250 kWh (per month estimated); wind speed: ~6 m/s (based on AWS TrueWind model data) • Bergey 10-kW, the Outer Banks Brewing Station, Kill Devil Hills, NC-- power: wild AC from

these systems and solving as an entire system, the parametric adjustability of the sketches can also be easily calculated on the fly... The operation of these systems does require highly robust equations and smart thinking when defining relations by the user. It also requires that systems are neither under nor over defined for the system to come to a solution. This was a problem initially when setting up the relations on my chair back cutout. However by studying the system and thinking of each entities individual DOF‟s, it is often easy to find the over defining relation.”For the solid modeling portion of the project, students were enthused with the opportunity to becreative and come up with their own original designs
