in Table 1, itseems safe to say that using AutoCAD as a platform for introducing students to solid modelinghelps them to better master solid modeling skills.Since taking DRFT 134, some of the students have learnt to use Solid Edge and some arelearning NX this semester (Spring 2015). In a follow-up discussion in week 7 of this currentsemester, most of the students expressed the sentiment that learning AutoCAD solid modelinghas helped them to reduce the learning curve in Solid Edge and NX. Also, most of the studentswho took DRFT 134 earlier continue to make AutoCAD their preferred solid modeling software Page 26.1488.15in other 3D projects

regular polyhedra. Three of the regular polyhedra theCube, Tetrahedron and Octahedron, were the focus of a core topic within a Design andCommunication Graphics module at the University of Limerick.The regular polyhedra form a significant element of projection systems and therefore a clearknowledge of the topic is essential for future technology teachers. The regular polyhedra area logical progression from students' previous knowledge of plane geometry such as regularpolygons, the key progression being a move to three-dimensional geometry. Studying thegeometry of the regular polyhedra provides a clear insight into students' ability to manipulateregular geometry.The teaching of the subject content was not merely focused on the mechanical drawing

student improvetheir 3D modeling skills, students complete bi-weekly labs, weekly homework assignments,three projects, and take the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associates (CSWA) exam. The bi-weeklylabs require students to produce a 3D CAD model of a part or assembly based on an engineeringdrawing. Labs generally take students less than 30 minutes to complete. The weekly homeworkassignments require the completion of tutorials and/or modeling parts or assemblies from thetextbook [2]. Weekly homework assignments consistent of 3-5 parts or assemblies that thestudent must create in the CAD software.Although assigning extensive opportunities to model helps with mastering 3D CAD software,efficiently grading the work is challenging.
