This strategy in using scenarios emphasizes the designin computer aided design.This paper will also explore the implementation of design scenarios in engineeringgraphics courses, along with highlighting the results, benefits and drawbacks.IntroductionOver the past twenty years, computer aided design has become an irreplaceable tool inthe design of machinery [2]. As the use of this technology has matured, design anddrawing instruction at educational institutions has evolved [3].As CAD was initially being adopted in industry, CAD courses were added to technicalcollege curriculum. These courses were meant to teach the student, who had alreadymastered technical drawing techniques, the procedures and syntax to use CAD software.The CAD courses were

beneficial as they may be, suffer from sheer numbers. It maytake one or more FTE faculty to supervise a large capstone class. Multiple topics orassignments must often be entertained, or a single topic (problem) subdivided so thatnumerous groups can work on pieces of the task. Although this mimics the manner inwhich large industrial problems are solved, the educational benefits are suspect. Such amicro-view is taken that the entire process (often the most educationally beneficialaspect) is lost. An approach that draws from each of the previous examples is the seniorindependent group project. A small, focused team of motivated students can beassembled to apply their CAD skills and knowledge to a significant modeling project.Until this point for
