Over the years in spatial ability, mentalrotation and spatial orientation have been thoroughly examined to understand the mentalprocesses involved in solving these types problems. However, spatial visualization, which iscaptured by pattern development tasks has been minimally researched. The inherent processes insolving such tasks have not

stating what students are able to do5. ABET requires definition of educationalobjectives and outcomes for an engineering degree program. For a given degree program,engineering design assessment may appear in a number of different forms, but engineeringdesign outcomes must be defined and their achievement by graduates assessed. In this paper, wedefine engineering design as a multi-faceted achievement domain, and we use multipleperformance indicators to evidence achievement of three different engineering design outcomes.The goal of engineering design education is to produce graduates prepared to understand andpractice engineering design in entry-level engineering positions in successful companies ororganizations. Graduates must have knowledge of

During the second semester, additional lectures on design for X, quality(including QFD, FMEA, Six Sigma, and robust engineering), data management, and ethics weregiven, with students refining and optimizing their design through further iterations as necessary,depending on the results of finite element analysis, prototype testing, and other investigations.Many students lacked an understanding of quality (not only as expressed in such tools as TQM,QFD, or Six Sigma, but also in producing quality work beyond meeting minimum requirements).The student teams had occasional homework assignments to

GD&T is a topic that employers consistentlyrequest that undergraduate students know and understand, both at graduation and duringundergraduate summer internships and coops, as early as the summer after their first year.GD&T can be a particularly tricky topic to teach due to its complexity, breadth of information,required spatial reasoning, and, commonly, lack of

possible.The next logical step in understanding ukulele design from a materials engineering pointof view, is to understand how sound waves are propagated in solid materials. Equation(4) shows that the velocity of the longitudinal sound waves travel is controlled by thespecific stiffness of the material in question (specifically the square root of that ratio).Understanding conceptually the specific stiffness of a material is very important forintroductory students. Often, the students tend to focus on one particular property ratherthan consider the specific stiffness or the specific strength to solve design problems. Thestudents seem to easily grasp the basic concept that it is not just the elastic constants forany material for an instrument top that

Here, a social scientific lenson the CAD learning activity can be productively integrated with the more technical approach ofteaching command and strategic CAD knowledge.While all students whose career paths intersect with CAD should gain practical and theoreticalexpertise with relevant CAD platforms, students whose educational experiences and potentialcareers may span different disciplinary domains would benefit by being agile in terms of howthey talk about what they know.

The design tree (feature tree or history tree) in most parametricmodeling applications offers implicit depiction of design intent, but not all descriptiveinformation is adequately conveyed (ex. a sketch concentric constraint is not recorded in thedesign tree and is only accessible if the requisite sketch is opened and examined). An explicitrepresentation would be immensely more valuable, especially for models with complexgeometric features or for those working in a collaborative design environment.

However, it must beacknowledged that a considerable amount of what was sketched was perceived andwas carried out for communication purposes. The research also demonstrates thatsomething deeper is occurring on a cognitive level which involved increased levels ofenquiry, recognition of patterns and synthesis between unrelated elements. Furtherresearch will reinforce that sketching as a cognitive tool for problem solving,application and understanding can be can be taught and applied successfully.Bibliography1.

The majority of respondents in this study accept thecharacterization of the flipped classroom as defined by Lage, Platt, and Treglia,2 but it isapparent from the responses and extant literature that no one true model exists. Comparison of the model from other domains and controlled studies into the effect of theflipped classroom on student outcomes is an essential component of the validity of the model.These studies are generally lacking in the literature and non-existent in engineering graphicseducation.
