experience both the frustration and satisfactionof that experience. Such learning prepares them for professional practice in ways that a projectrequiring only a paper/computer design does not. For instance, students in the lower end designteam, while having some background due from their coursework, became much more proficientand confident in their understanding of design and machining. Students designed, programmed,setup, machined, and inspected complex CNC parts. They assembled the parts into a completemachine and successfully tested it. They were able to adapt their engineering skill sets to theproject at hand. This was a lifelong-learning experience the student will not soon forget.Bibliography 1 Sheppard, S., Macatangay, K., Colby, A., &

At presentthere appears to be little progress in the education community to present BIM as anything morethan a 3D modeling tool, perhaps because the construction industry is still in the early stages ofaddressing this.Prior to the 1990s Computer Aided Design packages were little more than an electronic draftingboard that was used to produce 2D drawings which became, in hard copy, part of the ContractDocuments. In the mid-1990s large software houses such as Autodesk and Bentley begandeveloping 3D packages as a design tool chiefly to allow designers to communicate with clientsmore clearly.

The hostility and experiencespresented here are shown to be endemic to graduate education, and when considered alongside thenarratives of students, are indicative of the failings of engineering graduate education [6, 7].Similarly, differences in graduate engineering identity and motivation related to gender andmarginalized race/ethnicity may be a product of the discrimination these students face [26, 27].

In their early history, engineering schools focused on practicaltechnical skills for industry but later shifting the emphasis to engineering science [1].
