. 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

Hand sketches of the configuration including final sizing of each part with particular emphasis on mating dimensions. 3. Complete 3D CAD models of parts and assembly. 4. Final set of dimensioned drawings. Specifically: a. Isometric of assembly b. Orthographic of assembly c. Exploded view of assembly d. Parts list e. Dimensioned views of each parWhile the course content was the same, it should be mentioned that the semester length andprofile of the students is slightly different than during the fall or spring

Both the assignment and sketching windows have a designated starting dotand the user must begin his sketches such that the starting dots and the grid match between theassignment and sketching windows. The SVT app interface is very simple with a single color pentool, an eraser, and the ability to clear all sketch lines by shaking the iPad. Figure 3 shows boththe assignment and sketching windows to demonstrate the simple exercise of drawing a cube.One of the key features of the SVT app is the automated
