Sphere {1,1}Spheres enclose the most volume with the least surface. Conceptual spheres areconstructed in a 3D virtual world by a half circle, rotated 360°. 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. Fuller’s (1960, pg 132) statesour Unity Sphere is a finite, geodesic, set of interconnected points (vertices): There is no phenomenon “solid matter” therefore there may not be a “solid” sphere, nor a “solid” surface sphere. All spheres consist of high frequency constellations of event-points, all of which are approximately equidistant from

In order to illustrate the degree of variance from the geometric configurationsthat students were asked to visualise and communicate, a superimposed wireframe model ofthe original objects has been placed on top of student solutions in the second part (b) of theimage. The first, second and fifth configurations were chosen to investigate the issue

students’ ability to create solid models when givenan assembly drawing and their spatial visualization ability. 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. Thispaper will present the results of this study and discuss implications for future research.IntroductionWith the reduced amount of instructional time

b) Bottom View Figure 1 A Remote Controlled RC Car Prototype.There are over fifty components in the RC car prototype. This provided a realistic scenario toinform the students that product design requires the design and selection of many componentsin a systematic way in order for the product to function properly and to meet certain designspecifications. The sizes and dimensions of most of the components such as the wheels, the DCmotors for driving the RC car and a servo to drive the steering system were given to thestudents in the form of individual 3D CAD files so students don’t have to create them. Studentswere only required design three subsystems mentioned earlier: 1) the chassis, 2) the differential

In an effort to expose students to these types ofvisualizations students were asked to summarize each individual chapter of a technology-basedbook of their choice using a different visualization method. This exercise exposed students to awide range of methods and gave them tools for future engineering project document design. ThePeriodic Table of Visualization Methods1 website was used as a starting point for the types ofvisualizations students could explore.
