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

For many years, candleswere the preferred method for lighting. In the late 19th century, Thomas Edison is credited withinventing the first incandescent light bulb that dominated use for about 100 years. More recently,more energy efficient technologies, such as fluorescent light bulbs, have displaced the olderincandescent bulbs. Most recently, a Nobel prize was awarded for technologies related to LEDlight bulbs that are
