The assignment spans roughly twoweeks in the second semester problem-solving class. Dubbed the Treasure Hunt or simply theHunt, the assignment consists of detailed questions from which each student must answer ten oftwelve randomly assigned. questions. They must fully document a legitimate verifiable sourcefor full credit, hence enhancing their research skills but also enhancing their confidence infinding technical information.This paper

equipped with skills in constraint-based computer modeling to keepinnovating high level technology and systems [2]. As industries lean further into the world of 3Dmodeling, students need to learn how to effectively design in computer systems to communicatetheir visions. Therefore, universities need to keep up with the growing use of CAD and updatecurriculum to reflect the demands of industry including creative visualization skills,communication, and technical prowess [3].Experience is widely considered as the path to becoming an expert in any given field [4-6]. In thecase of CAD and more specifically modeling in CATIA, beginners start to build theirunderstanding of the program and the basic skills that go into 3D design. As these learners

By leveraging tools from Lean Six-Sigma DMADV process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) the students were able togo from concept to prototype in seven weeks.Background and IntroductionThe inception of this project was with an Electrical Engineering Technology student whosupports himself as a disk jockey (D.J.) His music was stored and controlled by a laptop. Thishad several drawbacks. First, he had to stay at the table with the laptop to start or mix anymusic; he wanted to have options to control the music with a hand-held device, like a smartphone. Another concern was the vagaries of the PC operating system: if the computer needed tore-boot, or had other problems with software, the

Based on the rapidadoption of BIM over the past few years, it will be a necessary skill for graduates to remaincompetitive in the job market. The construction industry and academia always look to theautomotive manufacturing industry as a comparison where having a core understanding of 3Dmodeling and other advanced systems is a requirement. The most important skills needed in theCEM field are: Ability to model detailed conditions in 3D Ability to assemble and review a clash detection model Basic Revit modeling and manipulation skills Ability to create 4D models using a schedule Basic AutoCAD skills
