four weeks ofsketching and eleven weeks of three-dimensional, constraint-based, solid modeling. In2002, the course was revised using the “backward design” approach [2] with formativeand summative assessments in lecture and lab activities. In later years project-based andlearning-centered instructional approaches with creative ideation and sketching [3] wereintroduced. Such approaches follow a natural cycle of Kolb’s learning model [4], whichincludes abstract conceptualization, active experimentation / application, concreteexperience, and reflective observation. Our university has recently launched a campus-wide academic initiative aimed at preparing undergraduate students in all engineeringmajors to use their disciplinary knowledge and skills

tochange, so too will the content and format of the EGCI. Monitoring the EGCI’s performanceagainst current trends and practices in engineering graphics can help keep the instrument a usefultool in engineering education research. With the instrument having met its intended level of rigor[1], widespread testing can now be done on different psychometric aspects to better prepare it forwidespread use. One of the first measures to be further substantiated is the instrument’s validity.BackgroundThe EGCI was developed as part of a larger project examining understanding andmisconceptions in engineering graphics with a goal of creating an assessment instrument.Experts in the field were consulted to identify important topics in the field which included

Through a 10-week design-build-test project, the studentsapplied freehand sketching techniques the initial and re-design phases of the prototyping process.Learning outcomes related to sketching were assessed by comparing question scores at thebeginning and end of the course.Objective:To determine the efficacy of this approach, the following research questions were posed:1) is it feasible to use individual whiteboards to teach freehand sketching in a largeundergraduate CAD course?2) do students and instructors find this approach acceptable?3) do students find that the use of whiteboards during class improves their ability to sketch?The acceptability and

with their finalgrade in an engineering graphics class [8], [14], [15]. Hsi et al. found that, in an engineeringgraphics class, spatial visualization ability was correlated with the overall course grade, such thatwomen, who had lower average spatial visualization scores, also tended to have lowerperformance in the course. However, the gender difference was not present for grades onhomework or projects. Therefore, they attributed the discrepancy in final grade to the lowerexam scores of women compared to that of men [2]. It has been hypothesized that femalesemploy slower strategies in solving rotation problems than males, which may contribute to thediscrepancy in scores observed on time-restrictive spatial visualization tests [13] and

This caused fatigue for users who were  locked out of the app or ran into impassible obstacles for sometimes hours at a time.   It seems that a few people had trouble understanding the use of the target and how it supported  the augmented reality. In particular, one student completely misunderstood the app procedures

student improvetheir 3D modeling skills, students complete bi-weekly labs, weekly homework assignments,three projects, and take the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associates (CSWA) exam. The bi-weeklylabs require students to produce a 3D CAD model of a part or assembly based on an engineeringdrawing. Labs generally take students less than 30 minutes to complete. The weekly homeworkassignments require the completion of tutorials and/or modeling parts or assemblies from thetextbook [2]. Weekly homework assignments consistent of 3-5 parts or assemblies that thestudent must create in the CAD software.Although assigning extensive opportunities to model helps with mastering 3D CAD software,efficiently grading the work is challenging.
