physical design artifact that provides a problem solution.Problem-based learning is often open-ended engineering design projects that include learningsignificant design elements such as problem identification and formulation, design conceptgeneration, and project management [7]. Jonassen et al. [1] assert “more classroom experiencesand all PBL programs should engage students in resolving the complexities and ambiguities orworkplace problems more consistently throughout the curriculum (p.147).” McClellan and Hyle[8] support this by adding, “the goal of higher education should be to facilitate learning throughexperiences.”Design ProjectsAutomaton Project An automaton is a mechanical device utilizing mechanisms to create repeatedmovements.

engineering from the University of California, San Diego, and then went on to get a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994. 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

plagiarism tool in the engineering realmis for the graphic comparison of integrated circuit layouts [3]. To date, it appears that noplagiarism-detection tools are available for solid models.BackgroundAll students at Central Connecticut State University in the programs of mechanical engineering,mechanical engineering technology, and manufacturing engineering technology take a course in3D CAD where they create parts, assemblies of parts, and drawings of parts and assemblies. Weuse Siemens NX as the CAD package because some of Connecticut’s biggest employers such asPratt & Whitney and General Dynamics Electric Boat use NX, as do the large number ofcompanies that work with them. While other CAD packages have an easier learning curve, wehave observed

correct meanings.  Time and money are wasted, blame is placed on GD&T, when the real problem is misuse.More recently we have seen an increase in GD&T publications related to engineering educationand product definition [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. These articles make an effort to reduce some of themisconceptions involved with GD&T.Rationale for the CourseSeveral things contributed to justifying a single course in GD&T at Illinois State University.Since the main program objective is to prepare professionals who can integrate engineeringprinciples with modern manufacturing technologies, it seemed natural that GD&T conceptswould be discussed at some level. The program advisory board confirmed the importance ofadding this course in

included the broader quantitative and information literacies [4].In response to major changes in accreditation outcomes in the late 1990s (a.k.a. ABET 2000),many engineering schools began programs to integrate writing into their technical courses.“Writing across the Curriculum” replaced or supplemented technical communications courses.Engineering faculty were reluctant to participate, as they felt ill-prepared to teach writing, andfelt that writing instruction would take time away from important technical content [5]. With nospecific requirement for graphical communications in the new ABET accreditation requirementsand pressure to address other criteria, graphical communication courses fell by the wayside atmany universities.Defining Visual

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
