212 (Computer-Aided Drafting and Design), and strengthen their learning experiences by applying theirknowledge in other courses such as: EGT116 (Introduction to Manufacturing), 265(Manufacturing Processes and Metrology), 365 (CNC & Manufacturing Process Planning), 405(Metrology and Geometric Tolerancing), 465 (Automated Manufacturing Systems) and 380(Machine Design). They will learn the advanced features of CAD in our advanced CAD designclasses. There is no doubt in the benefits of computer generated graphics in teaching CAD. Thiscourse as well as other related courses in engineering/technology design will be taught with theconstructivism teaching philosophy.

participant.Due to the limited resources, we only plan to test our workshop with around 30 students. Sinceour goal is to help student with lower visuospatial skill, we chose students with relatively lowerscore in the pre-course PSVT:R test. In the end, we selected 30 of them with an average PSVT:Rscore of 21.3 (SD= 5.31) to join our online workshop. By the end of the semester, total of 17students completed our online workshop. Participants who completed the workshop received $50cash as compensation. Online Visuospatial Skill Workshop. The online workshop was adapted and modifiedfrom an existing visuospatial workshop in our university and contains a series of exercisesspanning seven diverse related topics (Sorby, 2011). Those topics included 1
Paper ID #20321Use of Model-Based Definition to Support Learning of GD&T in a Manufac-turing Engineering CurriculumDr. Derek M. Yip-Hoi, Western Washington University Dr. Yip-Hoi received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan in 1997. His dissertation research focused on developing Computer-Aided Process Planning methods and software tools to support automation of machining on Mill/Turn machining centers. Follow- ing his Ph.D., he worked for several years with the NSF Engineering Research Center for Reconfigurable Machining Systems at the University of Michigan. His work

successfulengineering pursuits. In Fall 2016, student research projects included topics such as theimportance of spatial understanding in sports (strategizing a football play, designing a footballhelmet to decrease concussion rates), in petroleum engineering (an understanding of subsurfaceelements, interpretation of topological maps, drilling efficiencies), and in the medical field(chirality of molecules, surgical practice, physical therapy), among many others.Addressing the Target PopulationThe first time Colorado School of Mines planned to offer a spatial skills course, student membersof the collegiate section of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) were emailed. Researchsuggests that females are more likely to struggle with spatial skills than males,1-4, 6
approximately 60 Fall2015 students’ infographics and approximately 100 fall 2016 students’ infographics. Eachgroup’s infographics were collected (with students’ permission) and de-identified. For this pilot analysis, we planned to evaluate and analyze a portion of this total data set: 42student infographics, 21 each from the fall 2015 and fall 2016 semesters. Ultimately, our sampleconsisted of 20 from Fall 2015 and 21 from fall 2016.1 We collected this sample at random,choosing ~ three group assignments from each section of the course. Roughly seven of the 16sections from fall 2015 and 7 of the 12 sections from fall 2016 were represented in the sample.To facilitate a blind review, infographics were stripped of all information that would identifywhich
technical, complex topic. The authors plan to assess theeffectiveness of the learning tools in the near future, through a direct measurement of GD&Tknowledge acquisition and retention, in addition to self-reported satisfaction and self-efficacydata collection from the students. These data will be compared with a control group of a similarpopulation taught GD&T in a more traditional manner, such as through diagrammatic lecture-based delivery.References[1] S. A.

are evaluated for feasibility, technical adequacy and general compliance with requirements, and the relative merits/weaknesses of different concepts are presented. Assumptions and calculations that led to conclusions are provided, and whenever possible, preliminary prototypes, mock-ups, sketches, models, and/or drawings are used to communicate the various concepts. The technical progress of the project is reviewed, as is the current and projected status of the budget and schedule. Potential risk items are highlighted and mitigation plans are evaluated.

learning that peer-to-peer review encourages (Jones & Wheadon, 2015).The majority of research around ACJ has been centered in Europe (Hartell & Skogh, 2015;Kimbell, 2012a, 2012b; Seery, Canty, & Phelan, 2012) with recent efforts in the United States(Bartholomew, Reeve et al., 2017; Strimel, et al., 2017) and Australia (Heldsinger & Humphry,2010). While ACJ has been utilized in K-12 classrooms the majority of ACJ-use has taken placewith higher education, awarding bodies, and industry (M. Wingfield, personal communication,November 15, 2016). Collaborative efforts to use ACJ in international settings have recentlybeen undertaken with future efforts planned for international assessment research.Tools for ACJCurrently there are limited
