faculty attitudes toward visual literacy as well as how faculty teach andassess these concepts and understandings throughout the undergraduate curriculum. Faculty wereasked to report the following through a series of multiple choice questions: 1. How many years have they taught in the ME department at this university? 2. How many years have they advised the capstone project? 3. Which undergraduate design courses have they taught at this university? 4. What types of images do they specifically encourage students to find or create for their capstone design report? 5. How important do they consider visual literacy in the context of mechanical engineering design? 6. How do they address or teach visual literacy related

Moreover, instructors often cannot keep pace with the latestvirtual technology software developments.To address this problem, a number of universities are introducing innovative curricula withcomputer-aided design (CAD) modeling and computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis tools tohelp promote a better understanding of engineering basics and fundamentals among students,with the ultimate goal of preparing engineers who can fully integrate computer modeling anddesign with analytical skills.1 Researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at

from ideation to the development stage used to require only afew designers and many drafters; this might be the reverse nowadays. Model Based Enterprise(MBE) has revolutionized our design and drafting departments in industry and influences the jobmarket for both engineering designers and drafters. To obtain a clear understanding of similarlarge transitions in the engineering design and drafting industry, a survey was developed anddistributed to both academic and industrial professionals in related fields of study.In this paper, we will present and discuss the results of a national survey on the topic ofdesigning and drafting using CADD. The areas covered in this survey are: spatial thinking, 2Dversus 3D CAD software, current trends in drafting
passing designdocuments back and forth. This approach has several drawbacks such as difficulty in keeping thedocuments synchronized with the current state-of-art of the design, errors associated withrecording and understanding the design functionality in the form of a document, and the need tomanually code the application. Also, when documents are used as deliverables and sharedelectronically, engineers often duplicate efforts and it is difficult to trace the source of errorsalong a paper trail.Engineering teams in the automotive, aerospace, and other industries have turned to Model-Based Design to address these problems.1 Model-Based Design enables them to effectivelymanage increasing product complexity, more stringent performance requirements

-world applications, and communication skills. Theformation of the CDIO Initiative was a response to feedback from industry surveys whichcommunicated that although today’s engineering graduates are technically competent, theygenerally need one to two years of additional training before they are ready to function asengineers. Some of the common weaknesses cited are communication skills, including graphics,the ability to work in teams, and design skills. This paper will present a plan for a five-semesterconcurrent engineering design sequence, as well as an expanded use of design experiences incore engineering courses. Students will present an aerodynamics CDIO project that enhancestheir understanding of the effect of planform shape on finite wing
