plans for the future. A discussion on theconcept of a polytechnic institution, its definition, and transformative nature is included to clarifythe reasons behind this radical and somewhat unsettling approach to education reformation.IntroductionAcademic institutions of higher learning are facing many difficult challenges, includingdeclining enrollment trends, complaints about costs vs. value, curricular stagnation, and inabilityto adapt quickly to changing environments facing graduating students. Many researchers andauthors claim that the traditional educational methods and structure espoused by universities isoutdated and potentially restrictive to learners. 1, 2 The College of Technology at PurdueUniversity is dealing with these challenges

Student maturity and motivation is also a consistent topic in the responses regardingappropriateness for all learners. Some of the concern was specifically directed at middle and highschool students. However, others were more general and were related to students having the self-discipline to properly engage with the out-of-class work. This is addressed by many whoresponded yes, but qualified their response by stating that proper planning and supports shouldbe in place for the flipped classroom model to be effective.

simplifies the designprocess, so pre-planning a modeling strategy is not necessary as compared to history-basedmodeling. Users working on existing models do not need to understand the modelingstrategy used to create the model, and do not need to search through the feature tree toidentify specific feature parameters in order to make a change to the geometry. The directmodeling approach facilitates quickness and responsiveness-to-change, making it an idealapproach where speed and flexibility are important3. Due to the absence of the history tree, models created using the direct modelingapproach exhibit greater interoperability. Files can be saved in standard formats such asSTEP, Parasolid, or ACIS, and imported into other CAD packages without loss

inmany industries and a valuable skill for an engineer to possess.Integrating engineering learning into projects that benefit the community is rewarding on manylevels. Recipients get access to things that didn’t yet exist or they can’t afford while studentsdevelop new skills and gain valuable, resume building, experience. Further, students get realwork experience working with “clients” while wrestling with balancing function, durability,fabrication time, cost, scheduling, planning, communication, ergonomics, user experience, etc.Finally, service learning projects build and reinforce strong relationships between educators,their administration, and their communities. From our experience, ideal service projects are onesthat benefit the community or

More important in some industries than others - such as civil, floor plan layout. • While I am appalled that many studying engineering can't fathom the distance between a mile and a micron, the F for fit to screen key has reduced the need to teach scale in introductory courses

reasoned that with AR there is the potential of a closerintegration between the 3-D object and the abstractions that are a part of engineeringmanipulation, such as the orientation of the X-Y-Z axes and true 90 degree rotations. In addition,we had greater flexibility to create objects for which we did not have a scale physicalrepresentation (e.g., a house or a bicycle). Finally, we had the ability to create interactions thatwould be harder to create with physical objects, like having students identify a sequence ofmoves that would not begin until after locking in those steps, thus requiring a plan for mentalrotations prior to beginning the moves.

The App allows students toperform sketching exercises on a touchscreen. When a sketch is completed, a grading algorithmautomatically grades the sketch and provides immediate feedback. The goal is to create a moreengaging and more cost-effective spatial visualization training method.The SVT App could ultimately be used in the classroom, independent learning, or a hybridenvironment. While independent learning may provide the students with the maximum amountof flexibility and the lowest instructional costs, recent attempts with on-line learning havereported a low level of student engagement resulting
