assessment tool, during several open-ended design problems. Students participatedin ACJ, acting as judges of peer work and providing and receiving feedback to, and from, theirpeers. This paper will examine the relationships between using ACJ and student achievementand will specifically visit the implications of situating ACJ in the midst of an open-ended graphicdesign project. Further, this paper will explore the potential of using ACJ as a formativeassessment and feedback tool.Key Words: Adaptive Comparative Judgment, Design Graphics, Design AssessmentIntroduction The current methods to assess design problems and projects are often unreliable anddifficult to use in practice due to the creative and ill-structured nature of these problems

contentand theory-related outcomes such as orthographic projection and hand sketching skills remainedrelatively consistent across course sections, the CAD abilities of students who passed the coursevaried. These differences caused problems with instructor expectations and student capabilitiesin the second course of a two-course engineering graphics series. Discussion between the coursecoordinator, faculty teaching the graphics courses, and the administration resulted in theimplementation of PTC’s Precision LMS in a partially flipped classroom environment that wouldrequire students to complete tutorials on the basic functions of the Creo software outside of labtime. Then during lab, instead of focusing on the mechanics of which buttons to click, more

Like many introductory courses at the collegiate level,engineering graphics may be taught via a lecture-based format of instruction with studentsworking on assigned work outside of the classroom or in a large laboratory
through this can be effective in transforming studentunderstanding of how CAD inflects engineering design output.Background and ContextThis project was motivated by a set of three distinct but intersecting forces: 1) Demand by ourstudents to add CAD instruction to an established social sciences-centered design and innovationundergraduate programming (the Programs in Design and Innovation, or PDI); 2) Recognitionthat PDI faculty were weak with CAD tools, and thus there was a need to teach CAD from theperspective of our strengths in human-centered design and design thinking; and 3) A fundingopportunity to support faculty who sought to integrate interactive educational technologies intotheir teaching. The authors pursued the funding opportunity by

used.Class sessions and learning to sketchThe course goal was for the student to learn to communicate using standard conventions ofengineering graphics for 3D mechanical parts. This ability would enable the student tocommunicate ideas in subsequent design classes with peers on teams as well as contribute insome work settings. Learning to follow engineering graphic conventions was the base leveloutcome. Many of these conventions can be enacted algorithmically, much as a CAD systemcan automatically generate orthographic projections given geometric information about a part.So, at a deeper level the goal was to learn to generate mental imagery of a part and understandinformation from that level. Correspondingly, the underlying assumption was that
tutorial files are expected to be good and no furtherreview is done. In this paper, only single parts submitted as exercises were examined — typically6 to 8 exercise files per student per semester. Assemblies, drawings, and individual projects wereexcluded from this study. However, the program has been tested against assembly and drawingfiles and is fully capable of extracting history data from these files.Demonstration of the ProgramA second CAD file was created by copying the file first_student.prt after it was saved in Room150. The file was then renamed in Windows File Explorer to second_student.prt and furthermodified in Room 124 (Figure 2). Somewhat interestingly, the file history does not mention thatboth files were once named
