productive. Thegoal is to prepare teachers and leaders for schools, industry, business or community who areknowledgeable, skillful, and innovative in their technology related professions. Theseindividuals should be change agents to help advance their fields.The Role of Graphics Education and the Development of Graphical CompetenciesSince one of the goals of the NCSU program is to prepare innovators, many of the classroomand laboratory activities are based on engineering design processes where students createmodeling artifacts to help develop solutions to problems. These artifacts include conceptualmodels, graphical models, mathematical models, and working models [18]. Graphics tend to bea large part of creating these models, so students need to

skills, and toteach the fundamentals of a computer aided design. The students meet the instructor twice aweek in the laboratory during this three-credit-hour semester-long course with each class lastingtwo hours. The course is taught using traditional teaching methods with the introduction tographics concepts and examples in the first hour, and tutoring the homework in the second hour.Students passively absorb the information and work individually to solve the problems. Thelimited class time means that not all students get the immediate help they need. In addition,many of them do not follow up during office or tutoring hours for additional assistance. Since itis early in their university career, they often are not mature enough to admit they are
