misconceptionswhich can be useful in evaluating instruction. Researchers involved in science education haveused pre- and post- assessments to measure student learning and validate the need for curriculumrevision [1]. Engineering Graphics has been identified as a field in which the use of a CI couldexpose common misconceptions associated with graphic representation, as well as identify thefundamental concepts that contribute to the generation of those graphics. With varying curriculaacross institutions it can be expected that the implementation of engineering graphics will differ.The development of a standardized instrument to assess the understanding of concepts related toengineering graphics could be beneficial in streamlining or standardizing instruction

, dougong, intelligent system, graphical simulation, virtual realityI. Introduction The dougong is a well-known and unique characteristic of ancient Chinese architecture, theterm referring to the components located at the intersections of pillars comprising the roofsupport system of ancient Chinese buildings. In Chinese, the word “dougong” consists of twoparts, “dou” and “gong,” denoting the two basic elements of the dougong structure. Specifically,the word “dou” denotes the inverted cap for support, and the word “gong” denotes the bow-likeblock for supporting the load. Fig. 1 shows these two components in a 3-D model of a typicaldougong structure made in Autodesk 3DS MAX. In the structure of ancient buildings, dougongare constructed on

within other courses.Those best suited are machine design, design for manufacture, or tooling design. For thecurriculum in question, the bulk of this material is covered within the context of a DFM class,MFGE 333. A follow-on class on Design of Tooling, MFGE 463 is used to further develop andhone these skills. Both are required courses in the curriculum.Figure 1 shows the content of this DFM class arranged pictorially and highlights the GD&Ttopics. The strategy adopted spreads these topics out over the duration of the term so that theyare presented concurrently with other DFM concepts. The course starts off with an introductionto DFA which motivates topics such as mechanical fits and finishes. Fits in turn bring out theconnection between

With the development of Computer-aided design (CAD) software, many institutes and professors consider CAD as primarycourse content in engineering graphics. However, most engineering design graphicseducators still agree that the most important topic in engineering design graphicscurriculum is the improvement of students' visualization skills [3]. Many educators use 3-D models on a computer screen to help students to develop their

Understanding orthographicviews, cross sectional, auxiliary views, as well as linear and geometric constraints requires spatialvisualization skills. Also, crucial in most engineering fields is the ability to produce, read andcorrectly interpret engineering documentation (including drawings) [1]. There is a common beliefthat topics related to geometric and technical drawing are nowadays a high school

IntroductionAlthough engineering students specialize in a variety of specialized areas, one essential part ofthe curriculum is learning and understanding measuring and modeling techniques that expressthe relationship between objects and space. Being able to visualize and conceptualize objects in3-dimensional space is a skill that is critical to success in STEM coursework and retention inengineering programs over time [1]. Spatial conceptualization ability is the capacity to learn,understand, and reason about the relationships of objects as they relate to space or other objects.Learning to conceptualize spatial relationships is crucial to STEM education, as it is thefoundation of skills that drive measuring, designing, and

The 16 weeks were subdivided in thefollowing categories:  Weeks 1-6: Industry supplied curriculum  Weeks 7-16: Team project-based learningDuring weeks 1-6, the instructor utilized the mountainboard student guide (Dassault Systèmes,2013b). Distributed online by Dassault Systèmes along with the accompanying mountainboardinstructor guide (Dassault Systèmes, 2013a). All the lessons (i.e. 1-9) were assigned. Aftercompleting the guide, each student should have developed the skills needed to create 3D solidmodels and assemblies, fully define 2D dimensional drawings from 3D geometry, conductsimple static simulations, analyze motion, and clearly communicate their design intent withpowerful visuals, such as

These programming tools were chosen to create a stable,secure, and scalable online platform. The online platform has two major functions: An interface for answering multiple choicequestions and a free-hand sketching tool for answering drawing problems. The interface for themultiple choice questions (Figure 1) allows the student to answer questions by clicking on thecorrect answers, and the system will time-stamped all user actions and automatically determine ifthe final answers submitted are correct.

EngineersIntroductionSpatial visualization is widely recognized as an important skill for engineering students, oftenbeing an indicator to a student’s success in engineering classes and retention in engineeringprograms.1-4, 6 At Colorado School of Mines, efforts have been made over the past several yearsto launch a course designed to improve spatial skills among students who test poorly in this area.The course has evolved significantly over the past four years with major efforts aimed atenrolling first and second year students, providing intense and efficient spatial skill developmentopportunities, and encouraging an understanding of the broader implications of strong spatialskills. This paper describes the evolution and results of these efforts.BackgroundWhile it is
