Allstudents met the instructor via Zoom meetings twice a week remotely. All course materials wereposted online by implementing an ILEARN framework on Canvas in a flipped classroom setting.Students learned online Interactive Lessons for background knowledge including videos, audios,PowerPoint, and quizzes, then Emulated one or two problems by following recorded videos.During the synchronous Zoom meeting, students completed class Activities to demonstrate ahigher-level understanding.

This is where modeling can support refinedrepresentation and enhance meaning-making.A model is a representation of an idea, system, theory or phenomenon that accounts for itsknown or inferred properties. The model differs from the system—the students definition, rulesand parameters used to frame the phenomenon—because modeling can add additionalinformation that is not inherent in the phenomenon25,26,27,28. Models cannot interact directly withthe ideas they represent; they are intended to be

researchers observed that improving 3-Dvisualization leads to better performance in engineering graphics and in most other engineeringcoursework resulting in improved retention and graduation rates. The majority of the 3-Dvisualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphics classes presentthe objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multiple views, foldpatterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Other exercises present the objects in incompletemulti-view projections and ask the students to add missing lines. The newly proposed methoduses a different approach. It uses the standard multi-view projections to show a number ofrectangular bricks arranged in various patterns. The viewer must count

However when designing these subsystems, students were toldto check the existing CAD files for the parts they wanted to use to make sure the informationon these files were properly reflected in their design. This means that for each part the teamdecides to use, they have to allocate proper space for it to be installed.To give students more options during initial brainstorming and research phase, students weregiven a freedom to choose three-wheel option or four-wheel option for their RC car drive traindesign.

technology subjects that were comparable to the classicalacademic subjects challenged the nature of technical education in Ireland [15]. As a resulttechnology subjects were redeveloped to reflect more academic constructs. This is evident inthe introduction of senior cycle Technical Drawing as a state examinable subject in 1969.This syllabus attempted to make the subject more academic and as a result concepts andtopics were deliberately addressed in more abstract terms in an effort to distance itself fromthe applied, vocational nature of its origins [16]. However, recent years have seen a shift infocus for technology education, and in particular graphical education, within the Irish highschool level system. Design and Communication Graphics (DCG) was

In DFM, a more functionally constrained project could accomplish the same thing.• Building the Connection between Function and GD&T This follows from the previous point and reflects the challenge noted earlier that students experience the greatest difficulty when they are required to come up with the correct controls, and more so specific values of tolerance that will result in a desired function. In industry, this experiential knowledge has been acquired over time and is captured in standards and procedures for dimensioning and tolerancing the specific products that are designed and manufactured. Though it is difficult to reproduce this in an academic setting, tooling design again represents a good application
