activity or creativeproblem solving2. Similarly, when it comes to computer usage, certain courses involve extensivecoverage of CAD commands even at the expense of fundamental concepts in engineeringgraphics, where as other courses cover very little CAD with emphasis on concepts, pencilsketching and print reading. Coupled with all the possibilities that exist in terms of selecting aCAD package for instruction, it is no exaggeration to say that it has become a nightmare todecide on both the content domain and pedagogical aspects of this introductory course.This paper will examine the different variations of a freshman technical graphics course andweigh the pros and cons of each.
