. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Conceptual Cylinder Head CAD Project for AssessmentAbstractA cylinder head design project is used to assess 3D prismatic modeling skills during a capstonecourse sequence. The capstone course sequence features a large, multi-year project that may nothave 3D modeling components of similar complexity for all students. The project ensures thatall students are assessed using a similar project. The geometric model is designed to support thecreation of a physical prototype that may be used for airflow development models. Models areprinted using filament deposition printing techniques. The solid model also supports the use ofvirtual airflow analysis using computational fluid dynamics

In some cases, these teams have learned additional software such asRevit to complete structural drawings entirely on their own with confidence gained from theprevious

multidisciplinary teams," and 3k, "an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modernengineering tools necessary for engineering practice" [8] may motivate institutions to pursue theadoption of PDM software into their curriculum.Collaborative projects that are common throughout the curriculum, for instance: capstone designcourses, entrepreneurial courses, and IEG courses, would benefit from the safe, simultaneous useof CAD files provided by PDM. Students often devise unique systems that will be described laterto solve their file management problems. Most of these systems meet a few of the functions of aPDM system, but still provide issues and problems as they are applied to complex CAD filestructures.Undergraduates clubs would also benefit from a PDM

spatial skillsassessment in their final year. In order to incentivize participation, the assessment was offered asan extra credit assignment in their senior design (capstone) course.In this study, the PSVT:R taken in the first year is referred to as the entrance exam, while thePSVT:R taken in the final year is referred to as the exit exam.ResultsA total of 120 graduating engineering students (74 male, 46 female) from a variety of majors (61Mechanical, 42 Civil, 18 Other) participated in this study. Scores on the entrance exam (M =24.38, SD = 4.01) and exit exam (M = 24.84, SD = 3.89) are compared in Figure 1a. Differencesare not significant, t(119) = -1.248, p = .214, although mean and median test scores in the finalyear were slightly higher than
