Student Design Competition as the Culminating Design and Build Experience in a Freshman Level CAD/CAM CourseAbstractThe culminating project in a freshman level CAD/CAM course introduces students toelectromechanical and/or pneumo-mechanical systems and drivetrains. In addition, it provides athird opportunity for students to explore the design process and to complete a design and buildproject. For two consecutive years, student groups participated in a modified version of theASME Student Design Competition to fulfill this requirement. Adherence to the formal designprocess was enforced and monitored through intermediate project submissions. The objectives oflearning the design process, electromechanical

True integration occurs at the point where both customization and artificial intelligencemeet, to produce an outcome that saves both time and money.Through the use of API’s (Application Programming Interface) and custom software, trueintegration is closer to becoming a reality. The focus of this project is to develop a customizedsoftware program geared toward small to midsized job-shop companies that cannot afford all-in-one software packages. Software like SolidWorks, FeatureCAM, and Microsoft Office, arecommonly used by such companies and with the aid of API’s, a software

This study examines the transferability of design skills in undergraduate civilengineering students through a longitudinal study conducted at the Kerala TechnologicalUniversity. In particular, the study analyzes the impact of freshmen Design and Engineeringcourse on the transferability skills demonstrated by the same group of students in a senior-yearGroup Project course in the civil engineering program.

These students had taken the course as a first year and were interviewed during springof their junior or senior year.

Secondary objectives include the experience ofworking in a student group (initially recommended but now required), the opportunity to undergo the "painful"and frustrating process of learning to use new software, initial exposure to the design of a part of a chemicalprocess, recognition of the value of Process Flowsheet Simulation Software in optimizing a process, anawareness of the role of economics in design, and

Students, and facultyalike, may be more comfortable with a more quantitative grading scheme. Such anapproach has been developed for use in an introductory design class in which the processof design is emphasized over the product of design. This paper presents the summarizedversions of the assignments in the class offered in the fall of 2007 and completed by 68students. Twenty-five per cent of the course grade was determined from teamperformances on a two-month long, design, fabricate and test project.
