in June 2009. 1During this 18 month economic slowdown, the leadership at EMH&T decided to position thecompany for future success. Responding to industry and technology pressures, EMH&T woulduse the recession as an opportunity to improve their engineering design process and upgrade theirengineering design software from AutoCAD® Land Desktop 2004 to AutoCAD® Civil 3D®.President Sandra C. Doyle-Ahern, MEn said that it was important to advance with Civil 3D togive EMH&T a competitive edge.2EMH&T founded in 1926, has 85 years of experience offering, “…an extensive array of servicesincluding civil engineering, land surveying, environmental management, landscape architectureand land planning.”3 EMH&T’s ability to remain

In fact it is the software commonly used inintroducing CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) to students at High Schools, Junior Colleges and inmany Universities. AutoCAD is unquestionably the most popular software for 2D designdrafting but is not so commonly used in solid modeling. However, with good mastering,AutoCAD solid modeling is highly versatile and can be competitive in small and mid-sizedengineering design and consulting firms who lack financial resources for investment in rapidlychanging parametric solid modelers.This paper explores the teaching of solid modeling using AutoCAD. It presents a two phaseprocedural technique (planning and construction) that helps students to master solid

Activities included communityfocus group and mapping sessions. Drawing workshops for the village children were alsoconducted with the intention of integrating the children’s artwork into the project design. Whilethe physical output of these activities was important, gaining an understanding of the socialinteractions (i.e. identity and social “performances”) was deemed critical to developing aproposal that was responsive to the needs of the community. Investigations were also conductedinto local archetypes, construction methodologies and materials

One of the key outcomes of TEC333 is that students can apply appropriate datumreference frames to designs. Students are asked to demonstrate their understanding of the datumreference frame concepts in several ways throughout the course on a pretest, tests, onlinequizzes, modeling & drawing assignments, measuring assignments, and the final exam. Specificexamples include labeling a datum reference frame origin on a given drawing, sketching datumfeature symbols on a drawing given

It amounts toa tremendous waste of time, effort, and money to build some project and finally realizethat it falls short or fails to meet the objectives.

With a two-hour brief of the domain knowledge, students learned how to manipulate themanikin in a virtual environment to accomplish a given task. After the students became familiarwith the major functions of the software, various assembly process plans from industry partnerswere distributed, where the individual students were to model and verify human operationsspecified in the worksheets. Through the “hands-on” experience and group discussion in aproblem-based learning setup, students were exposed to various topics of ergonomics in theworkplace. The topics included postures
