formal documentation. The topics and structure of theclass are arranged in a manner to support the progress of the reverse engineering project.Successful execution of the class as an instructor requires detailed planning for the activities ofeach class period with consideration of the learning period for the acquisition of the skills andknowledge required to successfully complete the project. Some of the educational principlesutilized in the course are constructionism, spiraling, and immediate use of learning. The course istaken both by freshmen students as part of their first year experience and by transfer students.The purpose of this presentation is to outline how the course is structured to enable students tocreate an assembly of

and freehand sketching skills that were traditional taught to engineering students. Prof. Marklin developed a short course to teach engineering students how to express their ideas and con- cepts with quick freehand sketches that require only a pencil (no instruments such as rulers or compasses are required). This course does NOT require visual art talent. He taught the 5-week course twice in Mil- waukee (University of WI-Milwaukee and Marquette University) and is teaching the course at the U. of Costa Rica during Jan. and Feb. 2013. He plans to make a commercial grade video of the course and distribute it on YouTube. In addition, he will continue to teach the course at Marquette University because the course is

Connolly20 suggested a need to develop spatial abilities in GraphicEngineering subjects. Barr21 analysed future academic engineering plans with modern trends inmind and highlighted that the most important subject that should be included in a programmeshould be the development of spatial skills. Historically there has been a great deal of interest inthe methods of instruction and technologies that could potentially increase the spatial skills of itsusers22, 23, 24. Currently, the rise of virtual reality (be it augmented, desktop or immersive) hasfuelled the renewed research about the development of spatial ability.Over the last few

23.319.6 Fig. 8 – Project evaluation resultConclusion:The reverse engineering project gave students an opportunity to develop their creativity, criticalthinking, and hands-on skills in an area of their interest. In the project time frame, several shortstructured events were arranged, in which the students discussed the tasks that they hadaccomplished thus far, the challenges that they faced, and also their plans for completing theirprojects. This project helped the students to establish an understanding of how math and graphicaltools in solid modeling process can be utilized to take maximum advantages in mechanical andmanufacturing analyses of the models. The students also learned to understand the concepts

Figure 4: Summary of Chapter 3 of The Science of Formula 1 Design• “Information Visualization, such as semantic networks or treemaps, is defined as the use of interactive visual representations of data to amplify cognition. This means that the data is transformed into an image; it is mapped to screen space.• Concept Visualization, like a concept map or a Gantt chart; these are methods to elaborate (mostly) qualitative concepts, ideas, plans, and analyses through the help of rule-guided mapping procedures.• Metaphor Visualization, like metro map or story template are effective and simple templates to convey complex insights. Visual Metaphors fulfill a dual function, first they

. Figure 15 – ResponsesAs demonstrated in Figure 15, our participants from industry also disagree that “2D drawingskills are only needed for Drafters.” Comparing this result with Figure 8, there is a strongresemblance on the view points of the faculty and engineers on this topic.4.2. Current trends in Industry (esp. multi-tasking) demands both 2D & 3D skills for Drafters &Designers. Figure 16 – ResponsesAgain, similar to Figure 9, we observe that our practicing engineers also believe that 2D and 3DCAD skills are needed for both designers and drafters. Therefore, when planning for curriculumupdates, our engineering programs, mainly mechanical design, construction, and similar subjects,should incorporate

SolidWorks Sustainability accounts for both the distance and mode oftransportation used to deliver the product throughout its supply chain: air, truck, rail, and ship.In addition to distance and type of transportation, consideration of the quality of the fuel usedmakes this model detail oriented. The fuel that is used during transportation differs with fuelsource and refining technology, and has different acidification potential from the exhaustemission16.In comparing different environmental impacts to each other that reflects a comparable scale ofeffects SolidWorks Sustainability has formulated a sequential computation plan.

In addition to and possiblemore importantly, they are providing first-hand knowledge of what to expect on their firstco-op.In the future, the undergraduate teaching assistants plan to refine and modify the modulesbases on the comments received from the assessment.
