engineering design experience aimed at a design course that iscollaborative, multi-disciplined, hands on, aerospace industry focused, and helps studentsidentify strengths and weaknesses they may have when working in team environments [1][2].While focusing on aviation projects, the faculties from both the engineering and aviationprograms seek to address the issues faced by students in both programs in a way that benefits thestudents. Practical projects provide the students with the understanding that their work isaddressing a relevant industry need. Additionally, design projects such as this one introducesstudents to the type of group dynamics that they are likely to encounter at their future sites ofemployment where they will be expected to perform

The PSE’s response to the above demandsis a course in 3D solid modeling and CAM.This purpose of this paper is to outline the course, and display its role of addressing the describeddeficiencies in engineering design education. First, the requirements to offer a course in 3Ddesign and CAM are discussed. A brief discussion of the hardware, software, and machineryissues will be presented. Next, a description of the course is discussed along with a presentationof typical design exercises and projects. Finally, future work in the development of the coursewill be addressed.2.0 Course Objectives and

This line of inquiry brings us to the guiding research questions for this work.Are there aspects of play which can be used to inform pedagogies which improve learningoutcomes and student experience? What aspects of play are important for learning? How canthese be emulated in engineering design projects to create meaningful learning experiences?Literature ContextOne of the primary reasons to pursue play in education is that well-designed playful activities arecommonly associated with enjoyment, engagement and immersion.

Projects ranged from simple (e.g.creating a tool for removing kernels from dried corn) to complex (e.g. design an inexpensivecytometer for hospitals). In the development of the tool for removing kernels, students stated“… we found in the class that it’s not always the technical aspects that are important—it’s alsocultural.”2Opportunities for engineering graduates to apply their expertise to solve both technical and
