before the next module becomes available. This assures that thematerial is delivered to the student in the designed and logical progression so there is no randomdelivery of the course material. The Exercise components address individual elements within theclass projects. They provide the student with the blueprints for successfully completing the classprojects.The online course ended up having ten modules: an introductory module, eight modulescontaining course content, and one module dedicated to the review of the course. Once thecontent of the course was developed, the syllabus was re-written and the course schedule wasdeveloped. An extremely important element of an online course is the Course Introduction. TheIntroduction sets the tone of the

CAD course.Comparison to Other CoursesMany course descriptions and syllabus from Canadian Universities were evaluated during thedevelopment of this course but none appear to offer the topics we were planning. Otey et.al.[4].Published a paper in 2019 that described the evolution of a course at Texas A&M University thathas many aspects in common with the course described here.The Texas A&M course also had a focus on improving the CAD skills for follow-on courses,developing skills with industry-standard CAD tools, and included many of the CAD features intheir course topics such as corridors, pipe networks, earthworks, etc. The course described byOtey did use Revit in their second version of the course, but Revit was removed in the

Although we have already applied some of thegeneral principles, CDIO provides a well thought-out, well-organized template forimplementation.Both of our new engineering programs are still under development and will continue to changesignificantly over the next few years. The course sequencing in our current catalog can beviewed online at (http://content.dwc.edu/pdf/catalog/currentcatalog.pdf). Both BS programscontain five-semester design sequences. We have also increased the number of credits

The EL portfolio goes beyondthe traditional classroom
distribute lecture slides, laboratory activity documents andcourse syllabus. Each class session generally starts with the instructors discussing the weeklytopic followed by more open dialogue between the class members. Both Adobe Connect andWebEx allow for an “online chat,” which gives students the opportunity to take discussionsitems into more detailed conversations after the rest of the class moves to the next topic or tocarry on related conversations without disturbing the rest of the class. All class sessions arerecorded through Adobe Connect and WebEx and a link for the recorded session is placed intoBlackboard so students can have an opportunity to review course topics at a later date withoutlosing the context of the discussion.The Role of the
students rated the environments forfavorability in the beginning of the semester and decided whether or not they would go tothe classroom during the course hours listed on the syllabus and how their learning wouldbe facilitated. The “soft classroom” was the students’ first choice, over the “hybridclassroom” and “hard classroom.” Therefore, they were not required to attend theclassroom physically. In addition, the students were responsible for their own pace oflearning, without their learning progress being regularly checked. The instructor andteaching assistants were still available in the classroom during the course hours to interactwith students. To understand how the “soft classroom” worked and helped students tolearn, the authors distributed a

Dr. Branoff’s research interests include spatial visualization in undergraduate students, 3D constraint-based modeling strategies, and the effects of online instruction for preparing teachers and engineers. Along with teaching courses in introductory engineering graphics, computer-aided design, descriptive geometry, and instructional design, he has conducted CAD and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing workshops for both high school teachers and industry. In 2013 he was elected as an ASEE Fellow.Mr. Raymond Lynch, University of Limerick

the course based on completion of the11 units in the app. Note that students were told at the beginning of the class that use of the appwas required, although the syllabus did not state what role it would have in the grade. Studentswere not told that the app would be for extra credit only until the last week class. Figure 3: Completion rate of app lessons by weekOf the 102 students who opted in to the study, 10 had actually passed the pretest. To avoid aceiling effect, we took those 10 students out of our sample. The intervention in this study was theuse of the augmented reality app as a supplement to the standard course content. Students in 2 ofthe 4 sections of the class were invited to use the app. In total, 57
