The second goal as to provide the students with anopportunity to use solid modeling as an engineering tool for conceptual design, detaileddesign and engineering analysis.This paper will present the development of Rensselaer’s course, Engineering Design andComputer Aided Design (EG&CAD). The development of the course from a lecture withlaboratory using CADAM to a full laboratory course using Pro/ENGINEER will bepresented.

The typical technologyfaculty member often arrives at the first academic appointment with little formal preparation infundamental pedagogical techniques or teaching methodologies.

grafted into the front end of a sophomore introductory mechanical design course.The techniques used are not too dissimilar to many of the design process methods alreadytaught in the traditional sequence and hence there is no great increase in the abstraction orthe quantity of material required. Rather the sequence, context and range of applicationare altered. If the techniques discussed do ultimately determine the necessity ofundertaking a design process the paper goes on to re-affirm the importance of sketchingand ‘guesstimation’ techniques within the traditional design process. To summarize, the paper describes an alternative ‘big picture’ design sequence whichis hopefully unique enough to avoid the classification of ‘just another idealized
