We recently redesigned a computer aideddesign (CAD) class for aerospace engineers to ensure student success and an up-to-date curriculumwith applicable industry standards. We refocused the course material to establish relevancy toaerospace engineering as well as promote critical problem-solving skills while constructing parts,assemblies, and drawing sheets in CATIA. The goal of this study is to
