A Modern Curriculum in Engineering Design Graphics

本项目涉及设计、开发和评估 一个新的课程，工程设计图形，调和 当前从二维设计媒介（木制或电子） 绘图板）到新的和不久的未来的三维设计媒体（固体 建模系统）。 该项目是建立在三维实体的前提下， 使用新的计算机图形技术的建模系统， 成为20世纪90年代占主导地位的工程设计工具， 未来的工程师将需要知识和可视化技能 成为成功的设计师 所需的设备和设施 由获资助机构提供。

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.
