Engineering Graphics Hands-on Vise Project To promote hands-on learning at Kansas State University, a semester-long project wasdeveloped for the Engineering Graphics course. Although the initial charge was to include 3Dprinting into the re-developed course, the overall scope was expanded to include more hands-onlearning activities. The new project requires students to work in groups to disassemble, measure,model, and reassemble desktop bench vises. Guided from previous research on dissectioncourses, this project helps promote hands-on learning in the classroom while integrating coursecontent together. Engineering Graphics develops visualization skills that are critical for technicalcommunication. In
