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

Engineering Graphics and CAD/CAM are two of the core courses taught in ourManufacturing Engineering program in sophomore and junior years respectively. The EngineeringGraphics curriculum familiarizes students with 2-D drafting and 3-D solid modeling and assemblyof simple products. In continuation, both computer aided design and manufacturing, as well asRapid Prototyping application, are covered in the CAD/CAM course. Furthermore, application ofcomputer aided technologies in manufacturing

sustainability and toincorporate social responsibility into the product design4. 1.1 Approaches in Teaching Sustainability in Engineering EducationEfforts to teach sustainability in the undergraduate engineering curriculum are assessed inVanderburg5, where engineering education is described as composed of technical core coursesand complementary courses on humanity subjects. However, technical core courses are taught inisolation from the human life context and humanities courses are very general in nature with nodirect link to modern science and technology. Closer connections between the technical coursesand the humanities courses can help engineering students understand the holistic nature ofsustainability and the world; an alteration to any

outcomes. In thispreliminary study, we are investigating students’ perceptions of tactile and virtual learningactivities in an engineering design classroom and the challenges that students face in performingthese types of activities in a team-based approach.Active learning can have many definitions and, in general, refers to various teaching and learningstrategies where students are responsible for their learning by interactive involvement – this isnot a passive lecture approach. With tactile learning, students are able to explore and manipulateobjects and materials, yet today’s students tend to do much of their exploration and objectmanipulation through the use of computer technologies rather than through interactions withphysical products (e.g
