Paper ID #31760Conceptual Cylinder Head CAD Project for AssessmentMr. Eric Leonhardt, Western Washington University I work with primarily undergraduate students in the area of vehicle design and construction. I have been involved with thirty student built vehicles, each named after the school’s Viking mascot. We built Viking 32 to demonstrate carbon fiber honeycomb as an impact absorbing material for the Federal Highway Ad- ministration. Viking 32 also became the world’s first biomethane hybrid as we demonstrated ”Cow Power to Horsepower”. We used Viking 25 and Viking 32, both hybrid electric vehicles that run on natural

the Rochester Institute of Technology. Thiscourse is typically taken by students in the 1st year of mechanical engineering and studentspursuing a minor in mechanical engineering. The structure of the course is shown in Figure 1. Thecontent is provided by two Mechanical Engineering faculty, one mechanical engineering staffmember, and a group of undergraduate teaching assistants. The design project for the course is arobotic chime machine. CAD modeling techniques are demonstrated to enable team members tocollaboratively design their chimes early enough to be able to build. Additionally, a full Figure 1- Engineering Design Tools Course Structuredocumentation and drawing package reflects the parts created in the context of the machiningportion of
. Workflow Management- business processes such as design approval and purchasing workflow 5. Project Management- activates and project management information such as the state of files or milestonesBuchal [7] has described PDM as having four main functions: 1. Data Vault and document management- control of files by "checking out," revision control, and archiving 2. Workflow and process management- specific roles can be assigned to team members, notifications of changes to components are communicated to the team, states such as checked-out, for review, and approved, business processes for design and even procurement 3. Product Structure- Bill of Materials (BOM), the integrity of file references for parts

Following his Ph.D. he worked for several years with the NSF Engineering Research Center for Reconfigurable Machining Systems also at the University of Michigan. His work involved supervision of sponsored research projects that focused on developing software applications to assist manufacturers design and plan operations on manufacturing systems that could be rapidly

researchers observed that improving 3-Dvisualization leads to better performance in engineering graphics and in most other engineeringcoursework resulting in improved retention and graduation rates. The majority of the 3-Dvisualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphics classes presentthe objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multiple views, foldpatterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Other exercises present the objects in incompletemulti-view projections and ask the students to add missing lines. The newly proposed methoduses a different approach. It uses the standard multi-view projections to show a number ofrectangular bricks arranged in various patterns. The viewer must count
with higher spatial ability (79% of graduating engineering students) maintain a highlevel of spatial ability and graduate with only a slightly higher overall GPA than theircounterparts with low spatial ability.Given past work in this area [1,3,9], it would appear that either the curriculum at Stevens is notas reliant on spatial skills in order to be successful, or that students are able to work around anydeficiencies in these skills that they might experience. As the design courses at Stevens, an arenawhere students are most likely to need greater levels of SVS, are almost exclusively basedaround teamwork and group projects, students with lower levels of spatial ability may be aidedby their group for example.As discussed in previous work
Assistant for Visualization in Engineering (SAVE) is a software platform that is beingdeveloped for engineering graphics students to provide them real-time quick feedback using apuzzle-based game format. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the SAVE project aimsto create a virtual platform where students can achieve mastery of SV skills using a self-pacedgame-like environment. Currently, the pilot system has a number of quizzes that the students canpractice with and the system provides them with tips and hints for their successful completion ofthose. The system uses a library of questions that is designed to challenge the students atdifferent levels. For each question four choices of answers are created, out of which one is thecorrect

givenapproximately three assignments throughout the semester that required them to sketchorthographic projections and isometric views of objects. These assignments were designed tohelp improve spatial visualization ability. However, the class was generally focused on 3Dmodeling skills and SolidWorks operation, and not on spatial visualization ability.A survey was also administered to assess self-efficacy and to ask the students about how helpfulthey found the different learning activities in the course. We measured self-efficacy regarding 3Dgraphics topics using the three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy scale described by Densenand Kelly [21]. We will refer to this scale as the 3DM-SES in this paper. Agreement on eachitem of the nine items of this survey

minutes each to fulfill the requirements of the three-credit-hour semester-long course. Students’ final weighted grade is determined by homework, online quizzes, classparticipation, final project, and three in-class tests. The most common course issue previouslywas the lack of enough practice time in class. With the flipped classroom innovation, there wasmore time to practice in class, however, how to motivate students to study online by themselvesand how to enhance their understanding in the class time was still a challenge. It is hoped that byearning gamification points through various online and classroom activities including onlineinteractive study, online quizzes, classroom teamwork, test practice problems, and individualcompetitions
