and McTighe (2005) identified three stages: (1) Identify desiredoutcomes and results, (2) Determine what constitutes acceptable evidence of competency in theoutcomes and results, and (3) Plan instructional strategies and learning experiences that bringstudents to these competency levels. They posit this approach will help faculty designinstruction that promotes understanding and fosters student engagement.Another important approach to curricular reform that called for improvement throughoutundergraduate education has been in service-learning pedagogy. Service-learning is a teachingmethod in which students participate in organized service activity for academic credit that meetsidentified community issues, and that reflection done by the

an important aspect in the development ofmodeling strategies.Barnes et al.24 suggests that many of the exercises presented to students are in the form of“elegant solutions” which present essentially one single obvious modeling approach. Fortunately,even very simple parts such as those presented in standard graphics texts can be modeled usingdifferent strategies. In planning a part model, the designer must decompose or “featurize” thepart to be created in the solid modeling system. Two common strategies for modeling simpleparts involve decomposition into features based on either additive or subtractive approaches.30Metrics for Evaluating Solid Model Part ComplexityIt is important to choose parts for CAD instruction that present increasing

The findings thus provide rich insights into howstudents experience teaching and learning in design environments, what they value about thoseexperiences, and, perhaps most importantly, what dimensions of mentoring are more and lessvisible as meaningful supports.By better understanding students’ experiences and perceptions, the findings from this study canhelp design
