being measured. The EGCI aims to measureunderstanding in engineering graphics concepts; thus, unrelated constructs that should not beassociated with an EGCI construct should not have a significant correlation with performance onthe instrument. For examples, high performance on the EGCI should correlate with performancein solid modeling courses or other courses requiring an understanding of engineering graphicsconcepts such as machine design or production design, that require the creation or reading oftechnical drawings, but perhaps not with performance in history or philosophy classes for thesame participants.

Project outcomes and perspectives from students and faculty arepresented.IntroductionPersons with malformed upper extremities have significant variation with some havingfunctional wrist joints while other are limited to only elbow joint(s). Therefore, personalizing thefit of any prosthetic type device often requires significant modifications even if a proven designsuch as the UnLimbited Arm 2.0 - Alfie Edition [1] is available. These modifications are oftendone after parts have been fabricated and are an accepted part of the fitting process. It’s a generaltenet of engineering that the sooner in the engineering process a change can be
currently offering assistance or evaluating other students. Student B must wait for an available evaluator. If an evaluator does not become available, the student may be forced to leave without getting credit for work completed. The longer a student takes to finish their assignments during class, the more likely this case is to occur. • Student C believes he/she has met all five grading criteria prior to class start or during class time. A free evaluator begins an evaluation and flags a mistake(s). Student C may elect to fix them without assistance or ask the TA for assistance in fixing them. This process may take up to (10) minutes or longer. Student C must fix these mistakes or be graded “as-is

using an automated system to grade AutoCAD files that focusedon 2D drawings [7]. In this method, students email homework solutions to a dedicated emailaddress. The automated system then reads the emails and evaluates the 2D drawing(s) submitted.The advantage of this system is that students could receive quick feedback, although the gradingmethod’s generalization to 3D CAD is not apparent.Ingale et al. developed a tool in Matlab which would evaluate section views submitted as picturefiles by the students. Their tool had the advantage of being CAD software independent since itonly used image files and image recognition techniques. However, the submitted picture fileshad no dimensions shown, and the tool could not process other common views like

submissions. In ArasInnovator, a workflow is a flowchart-like representation of a group of activities. These activitiescontrol how an item is assigned and what tasks need to be accomplished by the assignee(s)before it progresses to the next stage. Workflows allow group voting (so that advancement isreliant on team communication and agreement), escalation and notifications (which can be sentto users at different stages of the workflow). Lifecycles represent the different states an item’sinstance exists. The updating of a lifecycle state is controlled by a workflow.Additionally, our system uses XPLM [16], a software connector between the CAD system andour PLM system that provides students with a seamless interface to transfer CAD models to thePLM
software algorithms. However, eLearningenvironments can be created that include some of the capabilities of expert teachers and allowstudents to work independently with a virtual teacher looking over their shoulder. Feedback to astudent in an educational software program can have significant and sometimes unintendedconsequences that impact learning effectiveness and persistence. The proposed mini-hintspresented here are an attempt to improve the learning environment in the Spatial Vis trainingapp, and have been developed using guidance from pedagogical theory. This is a Work inProgress, and the actual effectiveness of the mini-hints will have to be assessed througheducational trials.References[1] S. Sorby, “Educational research in developing 3-D
