ETD 455 CAD OER – Equity in Access for Engineering/Engineering Tech Students Mohammad Moin Uddin, Keith Johnson, Craig Leendert East Tennessee State UniversityAbstractComputer-aided design (CAD) is the use of specialized computer hardware and software togenerate drawings used in the architectural, civil, mechanical and other engineering disciplines.Virtually everything that is constructed or built today is first designed on a CAD system. As aresult, a CAD course is a required course in almost all engineering programs around the world.The Department of Engineering, Engineering Technology and Surveying at

However, with the changing needs of our technical society, theworkforce now needs a wide variety of engineers with specialty skills. Even in the area ofelectrical engineering specialties are as diverse as information technology (IT), computers,networks, data systems, security, communications, and even mechatronics and nuclearengineering which may cross over several engineering disciplines. Also, we now have dozensof subdisciplines connecting engineering with wide variety of

influenced by their ideasregarding the NOS.7,8 Some science educators have claimed that an informed view of the NOSwill improve students’ attitudes towards science, help them internalize science, and eventuallyenhance their science learning.9,10 The same argument could be appropriate for and can beapplied to the engineering field. In other words, an understanding the nature of engineering(NOE) could improve students’ learning outcomes of engineering and technology. It could alsoaffect how engineers see and conduct their professional lives after they graduate.11Research has shown that the attitudes of high-school students toward engineering become morefavorable as their knowledge of engineering increase.12 The International Technology

selectedstructures had two major features: technical sophistication and wonderful humanisticdimensions. The technical sophistication lies in the fact that each of the seven structures is anicon in its own right. The design of each of these structures was a triumph of engineering and theconstruction was a celebration of innovation. The humanistic dimensions entailed fascinatingstories of political, economical, social, and environmental dimensions.The developed course intends to capitalize on these two features to win students’ interest. LiberalArts students, like engineering students, have natural love for learning but some are intimidatedby technology.
