skills, and toteach the fundamentals of a computer aided design. The students meet the instructor twice aweek in the laboratory during this three-credit-hour semester-long course with each class lastingtwo hours. The course is taught using traditional teaching methods with the introduction tographics concepts and examples in the first hour, and tutoring the homework in the second hour.Students passively absorb the information and work individually to solve the problems. Thelimited class time means that not all students get the immediate help they need. In addition,many of them do not follow up during office or tutoring hours for additional assistance. Since itis early in their university career, they often are not mature enough to admit they are

1987 and is the immediate past President of the International Society for Geometry and Graphics. Dr. Branoff’s research interests include spatial visualization in undergraduate students, 3D constraint-based modeling strategies, and the effects of online instruction for preparing teachers and engineers. Along with teaching courses in introductory engineering graphics, computer-aided design, descriptive geometry, and instructional design, he has conducted CAD and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing workshops for both high school teachers and industry. In 2013 he was elected as an ASEE Fellow.Mr. Raymond Lynch, University of Limerick
