Homework, classroom assignments, and a self-selected term-project are evaluated on the basis of using the software efficiently, creating the correct geometry inboth shape and size, and employing constraint-based solid modeling to transfer design intent from drawing to model.The grading rubric of the term-project examines several attributes of the design process, such as identifying theproblem, defining criteria and constraints, brainstorming possible solutions, generating ideas and alternatives,constructing virtual models using solid modeling software, and refining the design. The rubric emphasizes taking anidea from concept to product-ready prototype. The value of
