In both Lightboard and the annotated PowerPointvideos, the above aspects are facilitated by the instructor’s interaction with the students throughwritten explanations of concepts and problem-solving. This is an essential component in teachingengineering courses and hence the videos that have this interaction are more appealing to thestudents than the narrated videos which do not have explicitly written explanations. Lightboardvideos have scored slightly higher in terms of student satisfaction in comparison to annotatedPowerPoint videos as the technology is more visually appealing and the presence of theinstructor gives a lively aspect to the videos.

In both approaches, the main objective is to improvestudents’ visualization skills, and both courses are offered with the use of software packages.Traditional projection drafting material is referred to as 2D material, and solid modeling materialis referred to as 3D material. The reason for the study is that the trend in the past couple ofdecades, across engineering and engineering technology programs, has been to move from thetypical 2D (drafting) course content to a 3D (solid modeling) course content. Some institutionshave completely switched their approach, and some other institutions now have a hybrid offering(i.e., drafting and solid modeling in the same course). Results from this

This process of learning from teaching is also associated with Kolb’sexperiential learning cycle.1 Kolb’s methods of learning were implemented in a senior capstonedesign class where student learning is assessed. The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the design process that hasmilestones with deliverables

Unfortunately, until recently,the Engineering Department’s manufacturing equipment made it impractical to have the studentsactually fabricate their designs.In the spring of 2013, a Stratasys Objet Model 30 3D printer was purchased to expand our rapidprototyping capabilities.
