prepare students for high-level CAD applications by increasing sufficiency and understanding of CAD modeling. We foundthat after implementation student scores on the timed CATIA certification were significantlyhigher than with the previous class model indicating that these changes resulted in a betterunderstanding of CAD modeling and formation of expertise.IntroductionComputer aided design has become a key component for successful design engineers. CADapplications allow engineers to increase design efficiency, accuracy, standardization, andcreativity while decreasing labor and time [1]. The way that engineers implement CAD toolsgreatly affects early designs and can set the course of a project. Both experienced and youngengineers need to be

There may be a rudimentary exposure to physical springsin a mechanical engineering laboratory; more often, springs are passed around in class and usedas part of demonstrations.Discovery Learning The term "discovery learning" covers a variety of instructional techniques, such as active,cooperative, collaborative, project-based, and inductive learning. In these student-centered peda-gogical methods, the focus of activity is shifted from the teacher to the learner. The student is notprovided with an exact answer or a specified approach but with the materials and resources thatcan be used to find the answer independently. In the context of a laboratory setting, discoverylearning takes place when a challenge is

However, this survey wasdone in the 2009 and 2011, and the class average post-test scores were 15.1 and 21.1,respectively. The average in 2013 is much higher than the result in 2009, but a little lower thanthe result in 2011. The pre-test average scores in 2009 and 2011 are 10.6 and 12.7, respectively.Even if the higher score is used as the projected pre-test score, there is a significant increase inthe average, which indicates that students did make substantial progress in conceptualunderstanding.

Page 24.1292.2University [5], over a span of fifteen years (1978-1993) approximately 36% of the enteringengineering students failed to complete the freshman requirements and thus did not transfer intoone of the professional schools of engineering. Interviews with these students indicated that themain reason for leaving engineering was difficulty with calculus, chemistry, or physics. Detailsare not discussed as to why students found these topics difficult.Traditional assessment tools, such as homework, projects, and exams have been developed to teststudents’ grasp of and ability to apply new concepts [6]. However, they do not always reveal theviewing strategies used by students during problem solving. It is difficult for teachers andevaluators

800,000 new engineers will be needed by 2018; however, the U.S.currently graduates only one-fourth of that number. Women and minorities are potentialprospects for meeting this need because they are projected to fill approximately 70 percent of thejob market at that time. However, they currently compose only 20 percent of the existing STEMrelated job market. Consequently, it is critical for the American higher education system to Page 23.1206.3provide sufficient training to fill technical skills gaps in all students, particularly those within thegrowing populations of minority and older workers.6Nontraditional students often lack the most

Freshmen exhibited an average score of 23.7out of 30 on the PSVT:R, while seniors scored slightly higher with an average of 24.5. Furtherexamination of the data will be necessary to identify potential differences in spread and medianbetween the two groups.Initial observations suggest that seniors may exhibit a smaller spread in their scores, indicating amore consistent performance. This could be interpreted as, barring outliers, seniors tend to
