Session 3548 Integrating Solid Modeling Throughout a Mechanical Engineering Technology Curriculum David H. Myszka University of DaytonAbstractOver the past few years, the majority of companies involved in mechanical design have beenmigrating to a solid modeling system as the primary design platform. An broad study wasconducted to document the specific details of using a solid modeling system in an industrialsetting. As a result of this study, a comprehensive list of benefits was compiled. Also, the majorobstacles, which must be

the integration of engineering design education into any engineering class without loss of a significant amount of class time. This makes the application of these projects feasible, even in engineering science classes where course schedules leave little time for design education [3].Furthermore, this works represents one of the first efforts to systematically assess the value ofimpromptu design as a vehicle for engineering design education.The rationale for including impromptu design projects in multiple courses is grounded inBruner’s theory of a spiral curriculum. Reference [13] provides a helpful definition of spiralcurriculum as, “an iterative revisiting of topics, subjects or themes throughout the course

movement in engineering case development and classroom teaching has itsorigins in the 1960’s at Stanford University. The American Society of Engineering Education(ASEE) and the Rose-Holman Institute of Technology sponsor an engineering case website thathas about 350 case studies1. The presence of this website leads one to believe that someengineering and engineering technology faculty members use real-world case studies.The advantages for integrating cases into any curriculum abound in the literature. These can begeneralized into four categories: 1) cases provide students with a link to the real world; 2) casesdevelop students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills; 3) cases develop students’communication skills; and, 4) cases involve

Curriculum DevelopmentAbstractThis paper describes the setup of an integrated project platform to support student research andcurriculum development in the burgeoning topics of artificial intelligence and machine learning.The platform comprises modules for object classification and collision avoidance which are usedin the design of intelligent and autonomous vehicles. Object classification consists of theappropriate neural network architecture for training and learning object characteristics from datasets. Collision avoidance utilizes a single camera to estimate the distance of the vehicle from theobject. The hardware and software requirements of the integrated project platform are met bycost-effective resources. In addition to serving as a testbed

This paper will report the current RP curriculum enhancementsaccomplished in both courses.The State of the ArtThe mission for all instructors is to educate their students the best way possible. Their teachingtechniques should challenge, educate, and promote the students' innovative thinking1. Thelecture-based format of teaching, which predominates in engineering education, may not be bestto achieve these goals2. Through the lecture method, an instructor introduces students to coursework by producing notes on a chalkboard or overhead. The instructor then hopes that studentscan regurgitate this
