to guide its production. The current EDG curricula in amajority of engineering programs still reflect this serial approach to product development by relying onengineering drawings for design representation. The students may be using Computer-Aided Draftingsystems and even 3-D geometric models, but they still learn skills of a designer/detailer and end upproducing engineering drawings that are useful only in the traditional design process. There is a majorneed to conduct a nationally-based curriculum development project to establish the content andmethodology for teaching Engineering Design Graphics in the 21st Century. This proposed project isbased on the premise that 2-D drafting is no longer the central focus of the Engineering Design

[10].In the new curriculum being developed at the University of Maryland, an approach to integratingstatics and strength of materials has been proposed where the presentation of both subjects arecentered around a design project. The purpose of this design project is to further develop theinchoate design skills students acquire in their freshman design course. To guide the studentsthrough this new approach, a textbook has been initially conceived around the design of bridgestructures.
