simplifies the designprocess, so pre-planning a modeling strategy is not necessary as compared to history-basedmodeling. Users working on existing models do not need to understand the modelingstrategy used to create the model, and do not need to search through the feature tree toidentify specific feature parameters in order to make a change to the geometry. The directmodeling approach facilitates quickness and responsiveness-to-change, making it an idealapproach where speed and flexibility are important3. Due to the absence of the history tree, models created using the direct modelingapproach exhibit greater interoperability.

Applicants were between 10 to 18 years old and it was hoped toboost their interest in STEM subjects.

The other two questions (2 and 6) wereanswered correctly by more than 80% of students atthe start.Student inspiration is more difficult to track, in partbecause we did not link responses from specificstudents between surveys. Hence, the lack ofsignificant change on these questions could represent asubset of students with increased interest and anothersubset with decreased interest, cancelling one anotherout.

The IDEproject required students to create a child’s pull toy manufactured primarily out of wood andcomplied with ASTM toy safety standards. IDE learning objectives were: (1) to develop andexecute a manufacturing plan to create complex shapes from common stock materials, e.g., stocklumber, dowels, and rounds; (2) to identify and use common hardware like screws and springs tocreate a multi-part assembly; and (3) to confidently use hand tools and low precision powertools, e.g., power drill, band saw, and sanders.
