examination scores with extra practicein engineering design graphics courses. Two engineering graphics design courses areoffered to engineering students at a two-year college that is embedded in a four-yearpublic institution. Engineering Graphics & Design I is the first course in a two-coursesequence. Topics include but are not limited to fundamentals of engineering graphics:including orthographic projection and 2D drawing using AUTOCAD. EngineeringGraphics & Design II introduces the principles of computer-assisted graphics andengineering design, with an emphasis on 3-D modeling techniques, using Inventor. Thispaper discusses how to improve students’ spatial visualization skills by using physicalmodels to produce orthographic views. The

sketching and three-dimensional, constraint-based solid modelingand prototyping. A project-based approach, which includes design ideation and thinkingin the context of individual and team projects, is incorporated to promote engagedlearning. Design thinking is a creative process based on the generation of many ideas andthe selection of really good ideas from the many. In order to do this it is necessary tothink generatively and postpone judgements on the ideas that emerge. Encouragingstudents to think outside their usual ways of thinking(2) is an important feature of theprocess since this can often lead to novel solutions. Design thinking involves a series ofdivergent and convergent steps. Proposed Unconventional Thinking in EngineeringDesign
drawing is generated from the3D model. This paper presents the experiences and challenges of using MBD technology in anundergraduate manufacturing engineering curriculum for capturing design function andmanufacturing requirements through GD&T. It reviews a junior level Design for Manufacturecourse, where advanced concepts in GD&T are introduced, and where students are required todemonstrate their grasp of these concepts by utilizing MBD. To facilitate this methodology,students receive instruction in the use of CATIA’s Functional Tolerancing and Annotation (FTA)workbench which they are required to use in their assignments and project work. In addition toallowing the integration of annotation with the 3D model, the FTA workbench provides

This paperdescribes the efforts to reach the target population, promote multidisciplinary connections, andprovide a novel curriculum developed around the course workbook5 and designed to enrichstudent learning at Colorado School of Mines.Table 1: Significant Revisions to CSM 151 Implemented in Fall 2016 Target Topic Proposed Solution Improve Course Structure Design in-class activities to develop aspects of spatial visualization and move workbook to out-of-class homework Promote Multidisciplinary Introduce a team research project to explore the role spatial skills Connections play in
projects and found a high degree of correlation (rs = .80, p < .01). Similarly, Seery,Buckley, Doyle, & Canty (2016) identified high correlations between the grading criteriascores—obtained through traditional marking—and the final rank-order obtained through ACJfor graphic capability. Acting under the assumption that traditional grading approaches arevalid, with the understanding that a full discussion of assessment validity is beyond the scope ofthis paper, these findings suggest that ACJ is similarly valid as it has produced highly-correlatedresults to traditional marking. Further research into the validity of ACJ as an assessmentapproach would shed additional light on its’ feasibility for widespread implementation.Current ACJ

Someexamples include virtual simulation (e.g., simulation of a medical surgery for

In order to construct the modules, instructors use inexpensive materials commonlyavailable at art supply stores for instructional use or projects, such as PVC, tape, and cardboard.These learning tools have been implemented using clear plastic sheets, tape, permanent marker,and colored paper

because correct responses may vary based oninstructor background and CAD tool used. A separate assessment with more items could bedeveloped to measure student learning solely on CAD, but expert feedback has indicated thatCAD in itself is a tool and not a concept and as such should not be included in the ConceptInventory at this time. Many of the skills necessary to create effective CAD models, regardlessof the software or preferred technique, are already assessed in the CI as it currently exists,including parallel projection theory, planar geometry, and drawing conventions, and the resultsof these questions can help inform an instructor on their students’ knowledge of the informationneeded to build effective models.The authors gratefully
