. Subsequently, we will conduct a pilot study using Purdue students. The purposes Page 11.433.2of this study are to: a.) to assess the usability of the virtual reality-based assessment (VRBA)instrument and obtain feedback for modifications; b.) conduct a first look at how and if theinstrument correlates with more standard devices now used in the field; and c.) to ascertain atthis initial phase whether and to what degree the VRBA distinguishes among groups or people interms of ability and other performance parameters. In doing so, this study will compare paper-and VR-based test results for students from different college majors (engineering and non

[See, forexample, the Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Technology Standards effective for the 2005-2006 Accreditation Cycle]. The current Criteria for Engineering Technology are often referredto as the “a-k” criteria. An engineering technology program must demonstrate that graduateshave: a. an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines, b. an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, engineering and technology

and the tri-part modeling process begin.Phase I: NURBS NURBS: Non Uniform Rationale B-SplineNURBS CurvesThe NURBS phase begins by creating NURBS curvesthat match the profile curves of the concept car. Inimage 0, the profile curves are shown in bold in theTop, Front, and Side orthographic multi-views. By firstpositioning edit points and then manipulating controlvertices any three dimensional curve can be created.Derived from ship-building practices, NURBS curves, like curved “wood” splines, are formed byusing hulls or “ropes” tied to a curve at edit points (ep) or “knots” that pull with control vertices(cv) or “weights” that bend the curve. Knots or edit points are attached directly to the curve’s

Photons are turned on at each light source. b. Global illumination is turned on in the render settings. 5. The photon intensity and exponent settings on the lights are adjusted to give the correct illumination of the scene. Page 11.312.15 6. The quality of the global illumination is adjusted to bring the render quality up to an acceptable level and get rid of the blotches. This is done by increasing the number of photons in

in the areas of current technology. Technology changes rapidly in theComputer Graphics field and the faculty find themselves continually updating and changing theircourses to keep step with current changes in the technology, both in hardware and software.Course consistency in the form of learning objectives and outcomes is an important assessmentmeasure. Many problems can arise in assessment while keeping up with the technology, to thepoint where some assessment measures may become obsolete. In response to that, this paper willexplore a number of questions that deal with the issue of rapidly changing technology within thelearning environment. This paper will explore teaching and learning styles, technology issuesand how to develop a base for
