本文提供了一个理论视角，如何在CAD平台上的建模和仿真可以用来教科学概念和通知设计决策。本文讨论了CAD技术的三个最新进展的教育意义：系统集成，机器学习和计算设计。设计利用太阳能的节能建筑的挑战被用作工程实例，以说明Energy3D软件的建模，仿真和数据挖掘功能所创造的学习和教学机会，Energy3D软件是一种从头开始开发的CAD工具，沿着这三个进步的方向，以支持工程研究和教育。学生在物理教室和在线课程中的初步结果揭示了这些功能对指导学生为自己的住宅建筑设计具有成本效益的屋顶太阳能发电系统的影响。
This paper provides a theoretical perspective of how modeling and simulation on a CAD platform can be used to teach science concepts and inform design decisions. The paper discusses the educational implications of three recent advancements in CAD technologies: system integration, machine learning, and computational design. The challenges to design energy‐efficient buildings that harness solar energy are used as the engineering examples to illustrate the learning and teaching opportunities created by the modeling, simulation, and data mining capabilities of the Energy3D software, which is a CAD tool developed from scratch along the directions of the three advancements to support engineering research and education. Preliminary results from students in a physics classroom and an online course shed light on the effects of these features on guiding student to design cost‐effective rooftop solar power systems for their own home buildings.
