teaching contents of Engineering Drawing course have included the introductionof tolerance and fit, important elements of engineering drawings and the use of at least oneCAD software such as SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD. The task of “disassembling andredrawing the provided XY positioning mechanism” is set in the plan of the project referringto the idea of “reverse engineering” used for teaching. An example of the disassembly andmapping process of the screw slide table is shown in Fig. 4. In this way, students can discernthe components of “handwriting robot” and apprehend how these components work togetherto achieve system functions by disassembling the provided machinery, which is necessary forbeginners. Tasks such as writing measure reports, drawing

ambiguity of many of the objectives from each analyzed set was identified during theanalysis process for this study. Some of this lack of clarity resulted from the fact that many of theobjectives were deemed too difficult to objectively measure in a course, such as to “demonstrateconstant curiosity about our changing world.” The solution to this current lack of clarity is toimprove specificity and measurability in EM objectives. Measurable course outcomes ofteninvolve observable criteria, time frames, and numerical goals. For example, rather than “Studentswill develop and demonstrate proficiency in writing and verbal skills,” an effective objectivemight be "Present an original business plan at a design showcase."Many other objectives, although

Forexample, it is less likely in an introductory Physics course for an instructor to assume studentsalready know what a gravitational force is and how it acts on a body, whereas in Statics it isoften assumed to be known. It may be true, then, that students who are taking Physics as acorequisite with Statics may struggle in Statics with concepts that are not explained in Physicsuntil a later time.

In the futuremore time will be allocated to each activity. According to these results, 75-90 minutes peractivity would be sufficient.

Thus Steffensen, perhaps going further thanmany authors of empathic design would prefer to, moved empathy out of the terrain ofindividual traits and relocated it in the domain of corporate resources. Following thisapproach, Steffensen considered empathic thinking “a means to decrease failure rates ininnovation processes and hence a strategy for risk reduction”[23]. Not all authors in EEI agree with depersonalizing empathy and treating it as a puretechnique. In fact, some authors see empathic design not only as a

The first isthe planning fallacy, where learners underestimate the time it takes to complete a task [3]. Ifflexible deadlines are in place, students may not undertake the requisite self-regulating strategiesin order to complete the assignments. Another potential issue with relaxed deadlines is thetendency for students to mass (cram) their work in very few study episodes just before thetasks(s) are due. Citing several works, Fulton et al.
