The objective of photorealistic rendering is to“generate images from computer modeled scenes with an image quality as close to real life aspossible” [1]. The origins of computer rendering are rooted in technological developments thatare nearly a half-century old. However, more recent developments in photorealistic renderingapplications and in the

Engineering, The Ohio State Univer- sity c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Assessment of CAD Items for a Concept Inventory for Engineering GraphicsAbstractConcept Inventories (CI) are designed to measure student understanding of fundamental conceptsand have been used in education reform efforts for the past several decades. A CI for engineeringgraphics is currently being developed. The original intent of this graphics CI was to include both“modern” (i.e., CAD) and “traditional” (i.e., sketching, conventions, etc.) fundamental concepts.The first step in the development of any CI is to create open-ended problems. The incorrect resultsfrom these problems are
important for future engineering design work. The intent is tointroduce the material in an easy to understand manner and connect immediately with the studentleading to increased engagement.PBLM Everyday Uses DiscussionThe everyday uses section contained approximately three detailed examples illustrating theapplication of a specific PBLM topic in a real-world setting with emphasis on appropriate visualimagery. Brief text combined with a public domain image showing the actual dimension limitsgives the students a concrete example of how the topic of dimensioning is applied in a real-worldcontext. Subsequently, students may consider the importance of dimensioning in communicationwhen designing a wide variety of spaces. An example includes a picture of

Good assessment measures begin withweekly class assignments, both group and individual, which apply the composition and designprinciples in small concepts. In the lower level courses composition and design principles areheavily addressed and practiced on a new concept level. In the upper level course they are stilladdressed, but combined and built upon to aid in design maturity among the students. Weeklyassessments include quizzes, research, and historical and contemporary observation, as well aswritten and oral discussions of

This course will build upon the concepts ofthe of 3D CAD product design by using a concurrent engineering environment and incorporatingrelational 3D CAD and PDM databases in the lifecycle of products. The course will emphasizePLM as a strategic business initiative and will introduce students to change management,configuration management and relational design using a combination of the 3D model-baseddefinition and the product configuration management tool.Weekly Topics: • Top-down design • Relational Design • Program Management
Modeling Test – A Measure of Engineering Graphics LiteracyDuring the spring of 2011 several modeling tests were developed to assess students’ ability to“read” or understand engineering graphics information. The tests were designed to include awide range of elements such as threads, chamfers, fillets, grooves, and slots. From the computermodels a multi-view assembly drawing with parts list was created for each practice test and thefinal modeling test. Figure 3 shows the modeling test used in this study. Figure 3.

If we consider educators in the role of designers and students in the role ofusers, these concepts have important implications for considering a course as a design object.First, the focus on meeting user needs positions a course not necessarily as a vehicle fordelivering some specific content or molding future engineers, but rather as a vehicle for meetingsome unmet need(s) in the students’ experiences. The needs could be related to learning somespecific content or developing some specific

Some of the cylinder head designknowledge was assessed separately in short answer quiz questions, outside the focus of thispaper. The use of external spreadsheets to drive the parametric design seems a useful addition tothe project.

Being exposed to PLM systemsearly and in the context of entry level modeling courses allows students to become familiar withPLM concepts and how PLM systems are an integral part of modern design processes. Studentsentering the workforce will have a firm understanding of the various stages and changes aproduct goes through during its lifecycle and how PLM and CAD are not mutually exclusive, butcomplementary to
