. The purpose is for students to learn the basics of dimensioning anddrawing before using an electronic method. Then when they create a CAD drawing they candraw on their experience of hand drawing to create the object and dimension it. The handdrawing and CAD skills are further developed when they begin to learn solid modeling.4 Otherinstitutions have elected to teach dimensioning and drawing in a totally electronic format.Engineering students learn the basics of dimensioning in the first-year engineering program atMichigan Tech.

For example, animations enable visualizationof complex phenomena, while interactive problem-solving exercises provide opportunities forimmediate skill application and assessment [11, 12].

This aligns with significant amount ofliterature which describes how ethics is dismissed within engineering education due to anassumption that as engineers it’s okay to be below required levels of ethics, given that it’s toodifficult to teach and assess (Seniuk Cicek et al., 2025).From my observations of the current course, this belief was observed.
