A Modern Curriculum in Engineering Design Graphics

该项目涉及工程设计图学新课程的设计、开发和评估，以协调目前从二维设计媒介(木质或电子绘图板)到新的和不久的将来的三维设计媒介(实体造型系统)的过渡。该项目的前提是，使用新的计算机图形技术的三维实体建模系统正在成为1990年代S的主要工程设计工具，未来的工程师将需要新的知识和可视化技能才能成为成功的设计师。该项目所需的设备和设施由受让人提供。

This project is concerned with the design, development and evaluation of a new curriculum for Engineering Design Graphics that reconciles the current transition from the 2-D design medium (wooden or electronic drafting board) to the new and near-future 3-D design medium (solid modeling system). The project is founded on the premise that 3-D solid modeling systems, using new computer graphics technologies, are becoming dominant engineering design tools for the 1990's, and that new knowledge and visualization skills will be required by future engineers to become successful designers. The equipment and facilities needed for this project are provided by the grantee.
