Each class is scheduled to deliverthe lecture first after which the students are allowed to complete their assigned homework andask questions as needed. The students learn the principles of orthographic projections and applythe principles to multiple view drawings by hand during the first four weeks of a fourteen-weeksemester. A 3D computer aided parametric modeling tool, CATIA, is then introduced after handdrawing, followed by auxiliary and section views

It is useful for everybody working in electronic design. In the microprocessor devicescourse I teach, due to the complexity of the circuits we build, it is practically impossible to drawschematics by hand. Such complexity is due to the detail required to actually construct suchcircuits. Even in a modest microprocessor system with an 8-bit data bus and a 16-bit addressbus, keeping track of pins and pin numbers is problematic. In performing homework and projectwork alike, students absolutely require a powerful yet easy-to-use schematic capture tool.Dia

To achieve these learning outcomes in engineeringeducation (i.e. ABET), various pedagogical considerations have been experimented andimplemented.Project-based teaching and learning has been a major line of research and practice in engineeringeducation due to engineering profession’s particular
