AB  - Engineering design courses often require students to gather requirements and create computer-aided design (CAD) artifacts to present their solutions. However, current instructional emphasis often overlooks the importance of connecting requirements and CAD drawings, a critical relationship managed by experts using industry-specific software. To address this gap, this paper proposes a framework based on the concept of model-based enterprise (MBE), which enables designers and engineers to perform up-and-downstream analyses. The framework provides a data-driven approach that helps students understand the connection between written requirements and corresponding visual representations in CAD drawings. For complex projects, practitioners can use a joint embedding layer of information to track information flows across multiple domains, which students may lack experience or training to deal with. The proposed framework utilizes joint embedding to build correlations between requirements and mechanical component drawings, allowing related requirements and images to coexist in the same design space and be linked together. We conclude that this study can serve as a theoretical example to bridge the practical knowledge gap in the current design curriculum and better prepare students for future challenges.
