The course introduces students to technical drawing, CAD, geometricconstructions, blueprint reading, and 3D visualization, emphasizing skills needed for effectiveengineering communication. This introductory course is primarily taken by first- and second-yearstudents. The participants were engineering students, with 22 studying aerospace engineering, 2 inmechanical engineering, and 2 in engineering physics.2.2 Study Overview and DesignThis study seeks to examine the hypothesis by analyzing the influence of BID on the quality ofsolutions generated in a classroom design
