The rationale behindthis decision was as follows: ● As we moved to online instruction, one significant criticism levied against universities was the increased cost that was an especially difficult burden for students from low SES groups. Since these are some of the students targeted for spatial skills instruction, a brief workbook would be less expensive than requiring them to have a printer and toner, a touch-screen computer/tablet, or a stylus for sketching. ● There is evidence

Rather than looking on this as a hindrance, we decided to empower students in variousways. An example of this can be explained through the revolving activity shown in Figure 5.Rather than solely converging on the solution (which is B), students were encouraged todiscuss in pairs or groups why the other three options were incorrect. Students typicallysketched the profile of the objects or created 3D models in SolidWorks. Page 26.286.7 Figure 5 – Looking beyond the solutionWe

. The objective was to ensure that all design technology graduates possessedan understanding of technology management practices in the areas of production, planning, andcontrol; quality control; safety; and management specifically. The goal was to improve the levelof understanding of technology management among graduating design technology graduates.An initial study of the students’ performance was completed in the spring of 20121. In this study,the performance of design technology majors on their understanding of technology managementwas ascertained. The criterion for success included (a) a 91% pass rate for all who sat for thecertification exam and (b) for those who did not pass the exam, the number of correctly answeredexam items will fall

Non Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) are math, vector-based geometries that create, like the calculus,theoretically infinitively smooth surfaces. However, NURBS geometry is geodesicallytessellated or triangulated to calculate the digital render.

graphics hasyielded valuable insights thus far. The phenomenon of expert-blind-spots has beenrevealed numerous times in the creation and evaluation of pilot items. This occurswhen practitioners reach a high enough level of proficiency that it impedes their abilityto relate to beginner mistakes. Items whose inclusion in the pilot study were questionedby one or more researchers tended to generate a range of unexpected responses. Therewere several responses that seemed beyond the comprehension of the researchers, as itseemed so against what was ingrained in graphics convention and practice.References1 Pleck, M.
