communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation. Assistive technologies replaced theubiquitous computer and paper visual interfaces. The course was intended to enable the studentto develop basic mental imagery capability in engineering graphics. These capabilities provideda foundation for engineering thinking for the student and

development of spatial reasoning abilities for engineering students. Bell has worked at Michigan State University since 1995. His work focused on the development of K-12 teacher abilities to use technology for teaching and learning. His recent research has focused on distance learning and collaboration through telepresence. One key aspect of this work is the study of embodied content for learning and collaboration. Embodied content includes collaborative textual environments as well as augmented/mixed reality. Other research includes idea-centered teaching and learning.Cui Cheng, Michigan State University Cui Cheng is a doctoral candidate in the Educational Psychology and Educational Technology program at Michigan

He was a lecturer and Director of the Design Studio at Yale University for four years, and then returned to his alma matter, UC, San Diego, in 1999. He is now a tenured lecturer and Director of the Design Center in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He teaches hands- on design courses, including an introductory design class, a mechatronics class, and a capstone design class. His interests in design education include increasing student motivation, teamwork, and integration of theory into design projects.Dr. Lelli Van Den Einde
through this can be effective in transforming studentunderstanding of how CAD inflects engineering design output.Background and ContextThis project was motivated by a set of three distinct but intersecting forces: 1) Demand by ourstudents to add CAD instruction to an established social sciences-centered design and innovationundergraduate programming (the Programs in Design and Innovation, or PDI); 2) Recognitionthat PDI faculty were weak with CAD tools, and thus there was a need to teach CAD from theperspective of our strengths in human-centered design and design thinking; and 3) A fundingopportunity to support faculty who sought to integrate interactive educational technologies intotheir teaching. The authors pursued the funding opportunity by

applied to student work: for assignments,students should be submitting their own original work, not the work of others or even their ownold work.Plagiarism detection software has been around for some time. Unlike plagiarism detectionsoftware for text documents that relies on matching of precise or very similar text phrases,plagiarism detection of engineering and technology files must operate differently. One such toolis Moss (Measure Of Software Similarity) which was developed in 1994 and is still available foruse [2]. Moss can compare code written in more than 20 different computer languages and isoften used for detecting plagiarism in programming classes. For Moss, plagiarism is defined asusing copied code structure without attribution. Another
analytics can be used in some academic activities,one of them being prediction of performance or behavior, which relates to the field of spatialvisualization skills. There is a variety of tests that have been applied to measure spatialvisualization skills of students, and there are numerous studies that have collected and analyzedinformation regarding demographics, spatial visualization skills, and academic performance [3 -5]. Of interest is the study where spatial visualization skills is something that has been linked toabilities to do engineering and technology work; subsequent studies have provided a relationshipbetween the spatial visualization skills of students and their performance in engineering courses,particularly for engineering graphics
with questions24/7 unlike their professors, classmates, and tutors, and they provide consistent instruction thatdoes not conflict with the modeling methodologies preferred across the curriculum by theengineering and engineering technology programs at Penn State Behrend. Recent feedbackindicates the changes also better meet the expectations of some of our industrial partners whohire Behrend students as interns to do CAD work. The cost for students who remain enrolled intheir engineering majors breaks down to less than $20 per course because LMS access is alsorequired in upper level courses that have a CAD component, not solely EGT 120/121.During the pilot semester and the following semesters of full implementation, there were fewproblems with
