Even though many new inventions and advancements in materialsscience and manufacturing technology provide useful tools to adapt alternatives, (such as nanomaterials, fuel cells, solar technology, green materials, etc.), it’s critical to infuse humanisticinquiry into the instructional model for undergraduate education.1-5, 16In the GPMT laboratory, we set up a small-scale green

Finally,conclusions, limitations, and future work are detailed.MethodsTo assess the role of contextual exercises on the manifestation of adaptive expertise and CADmodeling procedures, a series of exercises was introduced into a junior level product designcourse that uses the laboratory portion of the course for CAD instruction. PTC’s Creo Parametricprogram is used for this purpose. The first step was to establish a baseline level of adaptiveexpertise through the use of an adaptive expertise survey (AES) instrument. The instrument usedin this work was developed by Fisher and Peterson 10 and uses a 42 question, 6-point Likert-scaleto assess adaptive expertise based on four main dimensions: multiple perspective
