Methods of Instruction

Laboratory experience which involve students in formal exercises

Discussion of assigned project requirements and design methodology

Exercises on self-paced CBT training modules

Assignments

  1. Reading from reference material
  2. Drawing/Exercises using application software.
    1. Computer based training modules
    2. Projects assigned for the lesson

Methods of Evaluation

  1. Successful completion of computer aided design assignments with output verifying modeling correctness and precision; use of structured design intent principles, and documentation.
  2. CAD Lab activity - Practice and demonstration of techniques in the student laboratory designed to demonstrate critical thinking skills and to problem solve as required in the assignments and experimental investigations.
  3. A comprehensive final project (engineering documentation package) that includes component and assembly models, assembly and detail drawings and worksheets. The documentation package includes CAD modeling and documentation exercises that will require students to summarize, integrate, and critically analyze the major theoretical perspectives, modes of inquiry, and the important core concepts examined throughout the course.
