[4] These factors were researched in Lessons Learned from the Hybrid CourseProject. This project identified ten elements that need to be considered when developing a hybridcourse. 1. There is no standard approach to a hybrid course. 2. Redesigning a traditional course into a hybrid takes time. 3. Start small and keep it simple. Page 12.992.3 4. Redesign is the key to effective hybrid courses to integrate the face-to-face and online learning. 5. Hybrid courses facilitate interaction among students, and

This paper presents the experiences and challenges of using MBD technology in anundergraduate manufacturing engineering curriculum for capturing design function andmanufacturing requirements through GD&T. It reviews a junior level Design for Manufacturecourse, where advanced concepts in GD&T are introduced, and where students are required todemonstrate their grasp of these concepts by utilizing MBD. To facilitate this methodology,students receive instruction in the use of CATIA’s Functional Tolerancing and Annotation (FTA)workbench which they are required to use in their assignments and project work. In addition toallowing the integration of annotation with the 3D model, the FTA workbench provides

Not only must these individualcapabilities be acquired, but they must be integrated to perform the complete process so thatthere is computer control of all facets from conception through the finished product. Although itis possible for many corporations to acquire their own CAD/CAM systems, it is still necessaryfor them to find a source of engineering talent proficient in the design, implementation androutine use of such an important resource. The primary source of these new high-techprofessionals must come from the nation’s science and engineering colleges and universities.Loyola Marymount University is a private, Catholic co-educational university with colleges ofLiberal Arts, Communications
learning (EL) components in the CGcurriculum. Faculty within a CG degree program would benefit from an understanding of theexperiential learning instructional methodologies to pedagogically develop curriculum for an ELcourse in computer graphics.Generally, employers who hire CG graduates want proof of “real-world” experience and oftenask for a minimum of three years experience in the field. Real world experience, to employers,often includes not only the technical skills but also the “soft skills” of teamwork, appreciation fordiversity, and communication. Traditional classroom learning, as well as traditional classroomsimulations of real-world portfolio projects, may not always fully prepare the learner for the CGwork environment. Conversely

discuss the implications ofPLM systems in classroom dynamics, curriculum and grading.IntroductionThis paper builds on the idea that the implementation of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)system in an introductory level freshman course can provide students with key competencies tosucceed in today’s complex design engineering environments. Being exposed to PLM systemsearly and in the context of entry level modeling courses allows students to become familiar withPLM concepts and how PLM systems are an integral part of modern design processes. Studentsentering the workforce will have a firm understanding of the various stages and changes aproduct goes through during its lifecycle and how PLM and CAD are not mutually exclusive, butcomplementary to
