Specifically, we explore the pedagogic implications ofcreating two types of portals: (1) Course Management System (CMS) for course materials in anongoing semester and (2) Project Archival Tool (PAT) for completed project materials.We apply our proposed methods in a first-year engineering design course taught toapproximately 180 students per semester. The course is project-based and focuses on teachingstudents basic engineering design principles and professional skills. Coupled with these lecturesare additional laboratory components in which students learn to use MathWorks Matlab, acomputational tool, and Alias Wavefront Maya, a 3D design package.

Page 12.941.3Traditional engineering classrooms, however, are technologically unequipped to teach thecomputer skills required by industry10. This is primarily a result of limited lecture time. In thetraditional classroom model, the instructor’s lecture time is limited to teaching mathematics andtheoretical concepts. It is common for students to learn computer skills on their own, or withinthe framework of a laboratory assignment outside

, but largely uninteresting today. This perception may stem from thetraditional use of ray tracing as an offline or batch technique: until recently, generating a singleimage required either several minutes of computation on desktop systems or extremelyexpensive, highly parallel systems found only in large research laboratories. Others believe thatthe physical and mathematical underpinnings put the algorithm beyond the reach ofundergraduate students, relegating the study of the algorithm to graduate-level courses.However, we believe that ray tracing is an ideal vehicle through which to reinforce and applyfundamental concepts in computer science. To develop an understanding of the algorithm,students must integrate and extend knowledge in computer

The operating system API hid much of the change of the data size beneathand only minor documentation changes were required of the instructor. Some smalladministrative changes were applied to the laboratory milestones for the sake of modularity andcontinuity. The sixth offering of the course was identical to the fifth offering of the course, thoughsome aspects of the milestone requirements were made slightly more complex and the length ofassignment of some of the milestones were extended to account for this modification.

Virtual labs can provide remote-access to various disciplines of Science,Technology, and Engineering (STE) disciplines and are a cost-efficient way for schools anduniversities to organize high-quality laboratory work. Due to constrictions on time andgeographical distances, virtual-labs can be used to share costly equipment and resources, whichare otherwise available to a limited number of users.

However, the curricularchanges that follow these fast-paced technologies are often difficult to implement in theclassroom in a timely manner. Often, new products become available but without appropriatedocumentation for quick implementation in educational laboratories. It may take a year or longerto develop a set of laboratory exercises for a new microcontroller or a 3D printer. Thus, theknowledge must come from other informal sources, like workshops, technical presentations,conferences, etc. Students are taught to embrace change and keep current.

To the greatest extent possible, theory should be kept to a minimum, with greateremphasis on practical application. Virtually all of the standard classroom problems in AI are“toy problems,” which have little or no connection to what students would consider usefulapplications. Both classroom examples and laboratory experiments should focus on how toapply the techniques to real world problems.Finally, I was surprised that while the mathematics was difficult for the students, it was notactually beyond their reach, at least from a mechanical perspective.
