AB  -    ON THE USE OF A WINDSHIELD WIPER MECHANISM     SIMULATION PROJECT TO ENHANCE STUDENT         UNDERSTANDING OF DESIGN TOPICSAbstractThis paper presents the development of a simulation project that can be used toenhance undergraduate teaching and student understanding of mechanicalengineering design subjects.The software package utilized is SIEMENS PLM SOFTWARE® - NX and it hasbeen introduced to our students during their freshman year (EngineeringGraphics) followed by a junior level course (CAE), in which the advancedfeatures such as parametric design and simulation capabilities are used).The authors aim to utilize a CAE package which is able to integrate ‘ComponentModeling’, ‘Assembly’, ‘Motion Simulation’, and ‘FEA’ modules seamlessly inintroductory mechanical engineering courses, such as Mechanics of Solids, andDynamics in which kinematics and dynamics of rigid body topics are discussed.The goal is to use the simulation capabilities of the software to enhance teachingand student learning of these courses. For instance, this example project showshow students could benefit from the simulation by not only understanding thekinematic and dynamic behavior of the mechanism, but also verifying the stressanalysis of critical members via simple hand calculations.For assessment purposes, the development of a survey is planned. The survey planis to include students that were not exposed to the software tools in the coursesand students who were. From the results comparisons can be attempted and thepoint of view of students can be evaluated.
