A post-workshopsurvey found that time spent with the TA, drawing, and the hands-on blocks were the mostbeneficial materials. The least beneficial materials included the online computer tutorials andquizzes. We will pursue more creative activities for each of the stations; for example, we haveplanned an inductive learning station that asks students to describe orthographic views of objectswhile blindfolded.

More important in some industries than others - such as civil, floor plan layout. • While I am appalled that many studying engineering can't fathom the distance between a mile and a micron, the F for fit to screen key has reduced the need to teach scale in introductory courses

Maximum mass will be added to the design intent.  Students responded that the current simulation and analysis required is too much.
