Another engineering education initiative is Project Lead The Way (PLTW), whichpromotes technology education in the classroom for middle and high school students4. As well,the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) has provided guidelines for hands-on,standards-based, interdisciplinary engineering activities5, and the National Academy ofEngineering with their publication Technically Speaking encourages technological literacy6.These curriculum initiatives and publications promote engineering as a career choice. But thereare opportunities in elementary science education where engineering design and

The goals are retention,understating, active use of knowledge and skills, hence the integration with other classes isessential to this strategy.

Their research examinedmethods used to share design intent information between models, but encountered difficultiesresulting from an absence of standards and data-exchange procedures. Dorribo-Camba andContero echoed these thoughts by stating that design intent is often embedded in the modelingapproach and in the dependencies between features in the CAD software17. Their research detailsmethods to represent annotations in order to enable increased design communication.

The time students are willing to spend on these assignments is such thatassignments are spaced out over the semester because other classes need to have access to thecomputer lab.

The firstfour weeks are review of previous materials with little new material, while the following twelveweeks include the introduction of curved beam theory, energy methods, shear flow, shear centers,unsymmetrical bending

described above, sketching is an important part of the engineering design process andan integral component in learning spatial reasoning skills. Instructors have struggled in the past tofind a way to provide students with significant sketching practice since it is too cumbersome tomanually grade sketching assignments in such a large class. Recently, in spatial visualization anddesign training, educators have taking advantage of current technology to create apps and offerstudents more flexibility in their development and enhancement of spatial skills. For example, theSpatial Vis App developed by Delson and Van Den Einde (2015) runs on touchscreen Apple andAndroid devices and allows students to mentally rotate 2D and 3D objects and sketch a variety

ABET 2000),many engineering schools began programs to integrate writing into their technical courses.“Writing across the Curriculum” replaced or supplemented technical communications courses.Engineering faculty were reluctant to participate, as they felt ill-prepared to teach writing, andfelt that writing instruction would take time away from important technical content [5]. With nospecific requirement for graphical communications in the new ABET accreditation requirementsand pressure to address other criteria, graphical communication courses fell by the wayside atmany universities.Defining Visual

Computeraided design and drafting, as well as solid modeling of parts, are strongly emphasized in theEngineering Graphics curriculum. Integrated methodology of solid modeling, analysis, and rapidprototyping in a product design process are emphasized in the CAD/CAM course. Students areasked to search for a product consisting of two or more components and to use our facilities todesign and build a prototype model. The projects are graded according to creativity, level ofchallenge, accuracy, and quality of final product (prototype model). Furthermore, application ofcomputer aided technologies in

Almost every digital technology has gone throughstages culminating in an “island” or “silo” of technology. What has happened after that point hasdetermined, in large part, how imbedded that technology has become in professions, education, Page 13.902.3and society in general. The question is: Are visualization technologies embedded in curricula andif so, how; if visualization technologies are not embedded in curricula, why not.
