Information Graphics and Engineering DesignAbstractDocumentation for engineering design requires succinct project descriptions, often withinformation and data visualizations. In an effort to expose students to these types ofvisualizations students were asked to summarize each individual chapter of a technology-basedbook of their choice using a different visualization method. This exercise exposed students to awide range of methods and gave them tools for future engineering project document design. ThePeriodic Table of Visualization Methods1 website was used as a starting point for the types ofvisualizations students could explore. This site is an e-learning site focusing on visual literacy:the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual

Learning for Engineering/Technical Graphics Online EnvironmentsAbstractThis paper will examine active learning concepts and active learning techniques that can beutilized for distance education and technology enhanced instruction. Some established onlineteaching and learning methods as well as strategies will also be discussed. Consideration ofcurrent online active learning environments will follow. Hybrid courses have been taught sinceFall 2007 at North Carolina State University (NCSU) in Technology, Engineering and DesignEducation. In light of these courses, there is an interest in ways to improve operative instructionin these courses. This review of literature is the beginning step towards effective

Recognizing that they were atleast five AutoCAD® Land Desktop versions behind, the decision was made to undertake acorporate wide technology upgrade. After careful consideration, it was determined that the bestcourse of action was to take a two-phase approach. EMH&T would upgrade from AutoCAD®Land Desktop 2004 to AutoCAD® Land Desktop 2009 and then make the leap to AutoCAD®Civil 3D®. This paper will also provide tips for sustaining and advancing engineering designsoftware upgrades.IntroductionAccording to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) the worst economic recessionin U.S. history since the Great Depression began in December 2007 ending
