This project will develop an innovative instructional software system which will increase visual reasoning capabilities of engineering students. We will provide a learning system with which a student can develop visualizing and spatial reasoning capabilities in a self-paced series of exercises. Specifically, we will take the missing view problem which forms the foundation for all visual reasoning processes. This problem requires both visual analysis and visual synthesis, and has been identified as the one for which students show immense diversity in their solving capabilities. We will draw from solid modeling and artificial intelligence technology and the power of interactive computer graphics to implement such an instructional system. The system will capture and critique the reasoning steps of each student. The system will select a suitable level of difficulty based on perceived capability of the student in solving previous problems so that a suitable path of exercises can be provided for each student. The system will provide a discovery-oriented learning environment where the students develop visual reasoning skills from their own accumulated experiences guided by the system. The software system will be tested and evaluated in the laboratory curriculum of Engineering Graphics and Design course at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This is a required course of most disciplines in the College of Engineering. The software system will then be ported to diverse computing platforms and disseminated to other institutions nationwide. The project results will also be disseminated by holding workshops in ASEE meetings.

本项目将开发一个创新的教学软件 系统将增加视觉推理能力， 工科学生。我们将提供一个学习系统， 学生可以发展视觉和空间推理能力 在一系列自定进度的练习中提高能力。具体地说， 我们将采取失踪的看法问题，形成了 所有视觉推理过程的基础。这个问题 需要视觉分析和视觉合成， 被认为是学生们表现出巨大的 解决问题能力的多样性。我们将从 实体造型和人工智能技术， 交互式计算机图形的力量来实现这样一个 教学系统该系统将捕获并评论 每个学生的推理步骤。系统将选择一个 基于感知能力的适当难度水平 学生在解决以前的问题，使一个合适的 可以为每个学生提供练习路径。系统 将提供一个以发现为导向的学习环境， 学生们从自己的视觉推理能力中发展出来， 积累了制度引导的经验。 软件系统将在 工程图学与设计实验课程 伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校这是一 学院大部分学科的必修课 工程.该软件系统将被移植到不同的 计算平台并传播给其他机构 全国范围项目成果还将通过以下方式传播： 在亚欧会议上举办讲习班。
