Through the semester, students practiced freehand sketching, learned ComputerAided Design (CAD), designed for additive manufacture, and created 3D printed tangibleobjects. The instructor consistently encouraged the students to freehand sketch objects, as a wayto enhance their ability to see the physical environment and improve their spatial visualizationskills. The instructor employed various exercises throughout the semester to challenge thestudents to think creatively to let their artistic talent shine as well as aiming to instill confidencein their freehand sketching

This program exposes freshman students to theengineering design process with vertically aligned design experiences through the sophomore andjunior years. Cascading vertically, undergraduate seniors mentor juniors, juniors mentorsophomores, and sophomores mentor freshmen. The objectives of the CASCADE project are to:1) infuse concepts of the design process across all four levels of the engineering undergraduatecurriculum (i.e., freshman through senior), 2) increase first-year, second-year, and third

The field has not settled on aspecific nomenclature between “epistemological” and “epistemic.” [16] Therefore, some researchers use“epistemological” and “epistemic” interchangeably, while others might have named a construct as “epistemological”earlier in their work when “epistemic” might have become a more accurate descriptor later in their work.

The coverage is often biased; problem identification,research, and brainstorming are easily taught in a traditional classroom.
