Therefore, engineeringgraphics faculty must be efficient in their delivery of course material while ensuring that studentsare learning and understanding the key concepts to engineering graphics.In order to enable faculty to identify key areas of student misconceptions in graphics, we havedeveloped a concept inventory for engineering graphics encompassing line-types, isometric andorthographic projection, scaling, section views, auxiliary views, and dimensioning. A conceptinventory is a highly structured standardized test designed to reveal concepts of high importancealong with student misconceptions about a specific body of knowledge. In addition to revealingstudent misunderstandings, concept inventories are now accepted as an assessment tool

Of particular interest is whether the presence of a prototype exemplar contaminatesthe design process for novice designers. That is, does the prototype exemplar cause novicedesigners to fixate on particular design features thereby limiting creativity or does it help them toexplore a greater variety of design possibilities?The concept of designers fixating on particular design features is

In this context it is important to avoid the anti-engineering bias that we sometimes detect when “outsiders” write about or teach engineeringethics. We found that it is vital to discredit explicitly the perception that engineers arefundamentally potential “evil doers” which society must continually monitor and punish lestthey create more harm. Over-emphasis on engineering projects as harmful, and on the need to“punish” engineers for failures (especially for the failure of innovative designs) is intrinsicallywrong, as

In our design class, ME3110: Creative Decisions and Design [11],student teams work through a structured design process in order to 1) design and build a complexmechanical artifact and 2) learn general lessons about doing engineering design, working inteams, and learning from experience. In such an environment, students, under pressure to get thework done, may develop a task focus rather than a learning focus [12]. They often forget aboutthe overall learning goals of the class (i.e., learn how to work in a team) in the midst of thedemands of the project.
