To relate the idea that softwareengineering includes assessment of the product, process, and performance to education, we consider thelearning objectives for a course to be the product, the teaching techniques employed as the process, andthe individual student’s learning to be performance.In both disciplines

Among reasons cited for the U.S. need to focus on digitalgames for learning, is that video games “require players to master skills in demand by today’semployers” (p. 4) – strategic and analytical thinking, problem solving, planning and execution,decision-making, and adaptation to rapid change.

The feedback from students showsbreaking down complex solids into segments helps students understand solid modeling principlesand such principles will be helpful in the use of other CAD software. However, there are few ITSsthat are developed to teach students solid modeling skills. There are also few empirical studies inthe literature
