Page 14.938.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Pair Programming in a CAD Based Engineering Graphics CourseAbstractPair programming was introduced into a course in engineering graphics that emphasizes solidmodeling using SolidWorks. In pair programming, two students work at a single computer, andperiodically trade off roles as driver (hands on the keyboard and mouse) and navigator (discussstrategy and design issues). Pair programming was used in a design project, and in a subsequentyear in a design project and several smaller special projects. Student outcomes for two yearswere compared with a previous year in which pair programming was not used. Improvementswere seen in design

Particular attention was paid to dimensioning and ASMEANSI Y14 standards with the goal of improving the quality of the working drawings required infinal design project reports. All members of freshmen design teams in the fall 2008 semesterwere required to watch this video and pass an online assessment before they could turn in theirfinal design project reports. The School of Engineering maintained scanned copies of designproject reports for the fall 2006 and 2007 semesters. A separate

Science Foundation funded project: Enhancing Visualization Skills—Improving Options aNd Success (EnViSIONS). The purpose of the Envisions project is todisseminate and compare results for a course of remedial spatial visualization modules at sevenmajor universities. The data will be collected and the impact of the modules or courses will bemeasured independently at all universities.Four spatial ability modules were incorporated into one course at Purdue University: CGT 116,Geometric Modeling for Visualization & Communication, which is a core introductory computergraphics course that provides entry-level experiences in geometric modeling. As part of thiscourse, students develop geometric analysis and modeling construction techniques and

The four delivery modes aretraditional face-to-face instruction, synchronous distance education using audiographicstechnology, asynchronous online instruction, and hybrid of face-to-face with asynchronous andsynchronous online instruction. In general, each section of the course was delivered by the sameinstructor to undergraduate engineering students in their first or second year. In order to assessthe effectiveness of each delivery mode, this research considers the observations of the instructorand the commentary from the students. Also, a posttest was given to students to assess theirknowledge in basic areas of engineering graphics, including projections, visualization, anddimensioning. The results of this work will compare the

This study providesinsight into the process of improving graphic pedagogy by leveraging semiotic analysis ofstudent notebooks, in-class observations and ongoing support, the introduction of graphic tools(e.g., graphic taxonomy and master images), and formative assessment strategies to facilitatestudent science and technology learning. It is not enough to create representations; students mustwork through and revisit their graphics in context of the inquiry and problem solving cycle.IntroductionResearch in elementary graphic literacy is an emergent area of study, just as the integration ofelementary science1 and elementary engineering education research is a relatively new area ofinvestigation.

around the world forglobal engineering projects. The use of product lifecycle management tools mean that thesedatabases may be accessed in the future to be altered by other engineers. These trends increasethe importance of designing in a manner that is both intuitively organized and amenable tochange.In most CAD courses students design components that are never altered, or in some cases onlyaltered by the original designer. To show students the importance of designing in a manner thatis intuitive and amenable to change, a design and change exercise is presented. Students are splitinto two groups and incentivized with differing goals. The first group’s goal is to design the partas quickly as possible; the second group’s goal is to design the part

andnatural affinity between U.S. higher education and its ancestral nations overseas. In addition tocountless research projects and other cooperative endeavors, many U.S. schools have maintainedhealthy exchange programs and study-abroad initiatives for the majority of their existence.2These types of programs enjoyed somewhat of a renaissance following World War II, as theexperience of that event brought into light the need for the U.S. and its citizens to adopt a globalmindset. As a result, a variety of sponsored educational initiatives were implemented such as the1946 Fulbright Act, which provided legislation to promote funding for international educationand research through the sale of surplus military equipment.1 The Cold War served to
