In addition to robotics, Lai-Yuen1 also describes the use of a virtual assembly ofLEGO® blocks to teach students concepts in micro-manufacturing. Kelley7 describes a similarapproach in which virtual LEGO® blocks are used to teach and implement Product DataManagement (PDM) techniques. Pasek et al.8 have developed automation to assemble LEGO®blocks as part of a CIM driven LEGO® Factory. This utilizes a virtual assembly of LEGO®blocks as input to process planning that sequences assembly of the LEGO® model in the factory.While these cases involve students creating virtual LEGO® assemblies, none of them include

Each session included a detaileddescription of the project's curriculum design goals, and involved discussions on factual,conceptual and procedural knowledge, knowledge application, and student reflection. Handoutswere provided on methodology, instrumentation, procedure and assessing learning outcomes.The sessions gave instructors an opportunity to state their questions and concerns, and discusstheir long term curriculum development plans. The goal of the project is to develop students’ higher order thinking skills, problemsolving, technical visualization skills, and decision making skills in the context of a data-richlearning environment

Engineering students submit an initial conceptpaper describing an initial design for the room, and a mid-project report that includes pictures ofthe SolidWorks model. These are both sent to the nursing students who provide feedback. Thefinal product is the SolidWorks model, a final report, pictures, and a video walkthrough of theER room. The report, pictures and walkthrough are sent to the nursing students.

simplifies the designprocess, so pre-planning a modeling strategy is not necessary as compared to history-basedmodeling. Users working on existing models do not need to understand the modelingstrategy used to create the model, and do not need to search through the feature tree toidentify specific feature parameters in order to make a change to the geometry. The directmodeling approach facilitates quickness and responsiveness-to-change, making it an idealapproach where speed and flexibility are important3. Due to the absence of the history tree, models created using the direct modelingapproach exhibit greater interoperability. Files can be saved in standard formats such asSTEP, Parasolid, or ACIS, and imported into other CAD packages without loss

Other programs such as SketchUp or Civil designsoftware from developers such as Bentley or MicroStation could have been used in the deliveryof the course.The decision was made to use AutoCAD and Civil 3D in the course because the software iswidely used in civil engineering, the software is available to students free of charge, and thereare many design features available in Civil 3D.

The initial survey was developed by Computer Graphics Technology graduate student,Brandon Karcher, as part of his thesis. The survey was modeled on the Theory of PlannedBehavior that was proposed and developed by Icek Ajzen3 in his paper, From Intentions toActions: A Theory of Planned Behavior. According to the theory, decisions are guided by threeconsiderations: behavioral, control, and normative beliefs. When these three beliefs combine, anintention is formed. The intention is then linked to a behavior, and depending on the perceivedbehavioral control an individual has, the behavior will be

To judge thecollaboration type of design, identifying its mission, authority, and relationship is important.Kvan [26] suggested that collaboration is also episodic and cyclical.

Before implementation, students cansystematically evaluate these strategies and select the most appropriate one. This front-endthinking reduces modeling time and results in a robust model.2.1.

Themodeling can be effectively executed by using the steps shown in fig. 2.

In the project time frame, several shortstructured events were arranged, in which the students discussed the tasks that they hadaccomplished thus far, the challenges that they faced, and also their plans for completing theirprojects. This project helped the students to establish an understanding of how math and graphicaltools in solid modeling process can be utilized to take maximum advantages in mechanical andmanufacturing analyses of the models. The students also learned to understand the concepts
