10 feature should create a good foundation for modeling the rest of the object in an efficient manner. Orientation of initial sketch plane The initial sketch plane is important for establishing the viewing direction of the 10 model and also how the model will be oriented in the assembly. It is also critical for establishing the main symmetry plane for models. Best model origin As with the base/core feature, the location of the origin is flexible. It should, however, reflect the design intent of the model. For example, if an object has

self-developed survey, followed by focus group interviewsof the students to reflect students’ attitudes toward classroom attendance and their learningefficacy under this innovative self-regulated learning. Three rounds of surveys wereconducted to examine students’ changes in attitude and preferences as well as theirperceptions of their learning efficiency. Based on students’ self-reports, the average rate ofphysical classroom attendance was 26%. More than 60% of the students preferred this“soft classroom” learning. In addition, they reported on how efficient this course was inresponse to this new learning environment. The results from the three rounds of surveysand focus group interview provided evidence of the success of the current case

attainment of the learning outcomes, whichdo not explicitly reflect SV skills, and can thus not be used to quantify improvements inSV. A further challenge is the difference in the order of topic presentation that the twoexperienced instructors favor, thereby inhibiting the development and use of a formativeassessment method to quantify the impact of the individual pedagogic measures on thestudents SV skill development. There are a number of tools that have been developed to assess SV development,with perhaps the most widely used (in the US) being the Purdue Spatial VisualizationTest (PSVT 34), of which often only the rotations section is used (PSVT:R) 35. Sorby andGorska 4 and Study 24 present a comparative of a number of available tests

following pairs ofthe learning style model proposed by Felder and Silverman in 198828: Sensing vs Intuitive;Visual vs Verbal; Active vs Reflective; Sequential vs Global. These dimensions in the ILS drawfrom other well-known learning style models such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)and the Kolb learning style index27. The ILS has a substantial history of use and has been provento provide consistent and valid results in numerous evaluative studies 27-31. Reliability testsyielded Cronbach alpha results greater than 0.5 and consistent in all the ILS scales; whilePearson’s correlation and factor analysis tests conducted also indicated that the differentdimensions were indeed distinct - with a mild association found between the sequential

exercises described below offer a new method of challenging students to create threedimensions from two. These exercises are a powerful and effective way to help engineering andarchitecture educators teach spatial visualization.Most of the 3-D visualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphicsclasses present the objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multipleviews, fold patterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Exercises present the objects inincomplete multi-view projections, and ask the students to add missing lines. They use mostlyreal 3D objects that are easily recognizable to help the student correlate 2D with 3D.This new method uses a different approach. Each view of the solid

context. This requiredchanging the course to reflect discipline-based engineering assignments.To assist with assignment reconfiguration, the instructor of the course recruited the help of seniorstudents in civil, environmental and biological engineering to create new assignments.Assignment were created specific to the disciplines of civil, environmental and biologicalengineering. In addition, a Ph.D. student with teaching experience in the CAD course was usedto oversee the entire process.Since the students in the course consist of civil, environmental or biological engineering majors,the new assignments cater to their needs. Funding support for the course changes are from theHuntsman Environment Research Center (HERC) at Utah State University

skill for learning design thinking and influencing the designoutcome.Design thinking in engineering education and challenges:Design thinking reflects the complex processes of inquiry and learning that designersperform in a systems context, making decisions as they proceed, often workingcollaboratively on teams in a social process, and “speaking” several languages with eachother (and to themselves)(10). In cornerstone design courses, design thinking skills thatsupport an iterative loop of divergent (creative) and convergent (critical) thinking throughindividual and team project-based learning environments are needed in addition toinstruction of graphics and visualization tools. Critical thinking skills have a moreestablished history in academia
