principles. However, the curriculum is socrowded that there is little or no room for instruction on the computational tools that can be usedto design and analyze mechanisms. Moreover, instructors often cannot keep pace with the latestvirtual technology software developments.To address this problem, a number of universities are introducing innovative curricula withcomputer-aided design (CAD) modeling and computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis tools tohelp promote a better understanding of engineering basics and fundamentals among students,with the ultimate goal of preparing engineers who can fully integrate computer modeling anddesign with analytical skills.1 Researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at

through this can be effective in transforming studentunderstanding of how CAD inflects engineering design output.Background and ContextThis project was motivated by a set of three distinct but intersecting forces: 1) Demand by ourstudents to add CAD instruction to an established social sciences-centered design and innovationundergraduate programming (the Programs in Design and Innovation, or PDI); 2) Recognitionthat PDI faculty were weak with CAD tools, and thus there was a need to teach CAD from theperspective of our strengths in human-centered design and design thinking; and 3) A fundingopportunity to support faculty who sought to integrate interactive educational technologies intotheir teaching. The authors pursued the funding opportunity by

Research by the author will be presenteddemonstrating the use of eye tracking methods to help further understand the basiccognitive processes of multimedia learning. Findings have helped explain the interactionof text, graphics and narration. In addition, the results help provide guidance as to when itis or is not appropriate to differing combinations of these three mediums.IntroductionEngineering education has been witness to an ever-evolving array of technologies used tocommunicate science and engineering concepts. While many of these communicationtechnologies have changed over the years, others have remained relatively constant (e.g.,the textbook) and—even
structures in aclassroom setting.IntroductionThe advent of digital technology has given rise to a number of educational innovations, manyof which involve the use of computer graphics and digital simulation of environments,processes, and objectives. One of the most well-known of these innovations is virtual reality(VR), which involves the recreation of a process or setting in a strictly virtual environment,without physical props or interaction. This enables learners to explore an environment incomplete safety, and immerse themselves into settings that would otherwise be inaccessibleor too complex to recreate in physical form. This is especially important in the various fieldsof engineering, which would otherwise entail exposure to hazardous

applied to student work: for assignments,students should be submitting their own original work, not the work of others or even their ownold work.Plagiarism detection software has been around for some time. Unlike plagiarism detectionsoftware for text documents that relies on matching of precise or very similar text phrases,plagiarism detection of engineering and technology files must operate differently. One such toolis Moss (Measure Of Software Similarity) which was developed in 1994 and is still available foruse [2]. Moss can compare code written in more than 20 different computer languages and isoften used for detecting plagiarism in programming classes. For Moss, plagiarism is defined asusing copied code structure without attribution. Another

In most engineering schools, graphics is taught as a freshman courseand they have comparatively huge class sizes.
