Exploit SymmetryIf the part is symmetric, only a part of the whole component needs to be constructed. Then, itcan be mirrored to obtain the final part geometry. This approach reduces the dimensioningrequirements, and provides greater flexibility. An architectural triangular ruler (see fig. 6) modelcan be simplified by recognizing and exploiting symmetry. The modeling sequence for the ruleris shown in fig. 7

Students solve paper based problems while being able to see and“touch” the model with the MR application that is compiled for the Moverio see-through glasses.The Mobile App projects the model in front of the students’ eyes, allowing them to see the threedimensional (3D) representation of the objects in the problems right in front of them. This is asimilar experience to giving a real model of the problem to their hands which is not always possiblein large classes. Moverio has a mobile touchpad unit that is used to control the model and movethe user in a game-alike application. (A) (B) Figure 4 (A) Moverio

6, surfaces A and B were created before C. Note that both A and Btouch patch C at its C’s edges labeled 1 and 2. Note, when A and B were built the continuity onthese shared edges was set to Free. To build patch C, the surface edges of A and B were selectedand NURBS curves selected at edges 3 and 4. Selecting surface edges enables the surface tool tobase it’s continuity off a 3D surface, in this case patches A and B. To set the desired continuityfor patch C, the square surface edit box was opened. C’s edges 1 and 2 were set to curvature,edges 3 and 4 were set to free. This freedom enables the surface tool to position the patch C’ssurface cv’s and achieve surface curvature continuity at edges 1 and 2. The results are zebrastripes that

In spatial perception tasks, subjects are required to determine spatial relationships with respect to theorientation of their own bodies, in spite of distracting information. The example of such test is a Rod and Frame Test(RFT), in which subjects must place a rod vertically while viewing a frame

Preliminary analysis of student submittedinfographics from fall 2015 showed that students interpreted the assignment and the purpose oftheir infographics in a wide variety of ways. Most students relied heavily on limited, pre-madetemplates for generating their infographics, worked with only minimal guidance and a verysimple rubric provided by instructors (see Appendix B), and may have seen this project as a veryminor segment of their overall final project.

Modeling? Direct modeling is an intuitive approach to creating geometry without the burden ofhistory-based dependencies. History-based (procedural) parameterization of modelsrequires the user to thoughtfully consider the important model input/output parameters;independent dimensions are identified and defined by the user during model creation whiledependent dimensions are calculated based on procedure (history tree rebuild). However,instead of storing the sequence of feature creation, a direct model is based on the boundaryrepresentation (b-rep) of the solid. The model is regenerated based on a set of geometricconstraint equations rather than the sequential reconstruction of feature history. This is asimple but powerful method of specifying

Students were administered thePSVT:R and the MCT and were then given an assembly drawing and asked to model as many ofthe seven parts as possible during a 110 minute class period. The parts in the assembly ranged incomplexity from a ball to a valve body. Students were given a ruler to measure parts on the B-size drawing and determine sizes of features based on the given scale (2:1). Relationships wereexamined between the PSVT:R, MCT, modeling activity, final project and the final exam.
