As more faculty look for alternatives to traditional teaching methods they have stronglyadvocated active learning 5-10. However, the potential challenges for faculty with such anapproach cannot be ignored such as increased class preparation time, the risks of studentdissatisfaction, the use of instructional technology, and increased lecture time.The Graphical Communications course at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is afreshmen level course that is designed to familiarize the students with the basic principles ofdrafting and engineering drawing, to improve three dimensional (3D) visualization
