An "Enhanced" CAE Lab to Support a New Methodology for Teaching Engineering Graphics (EDG)

Barr和juric开发了一个新的现代化的工程设计图形学（EDG）教学课程，作为NSF拨款号的一部分。使用- 8854623（1990）。这个项目是基于这样一个理论，即工程设计图形课程可以用不同的方式来教授，这样不同背景的学生的学习和兴趣水平就可以得到优化。这个概念包括在本学期早些时候移动3D建模工作，这是一种工具，用于解释20个正字法工作的传统概念，因为它适用于设计和制造。学生可以很容易地与3D建模相关，因为他们从小就处理过3D对象。该理论的成功取决于利用“增强型”CAE实验室，该实验室基于独特的“链接”硬件系统，将教师和学生的计算机连接起来，允许交流和个性化的自定进度教学。这种“个性化”的方法将增强学生继续学习工程的兴趣和愿望，并使他们以更统一的知识和经验水平离开课堂。

A new modernized curriculum for teaching Engineering Design Graphics (EDG) was developed by Barr and Juricic as part of NSF Grant No. USE - 8854623 (1990). This project is based upon the theory that an engineering design graphics currIculum can be taught in a different way such that the learning and interest level of students that have varied backgrounds can be optimized. The concept involves moving earlier in the semester the 3D modeling work which is used as a tool to explain traditional concepts of 20 orthographic work as it applies to design and manufacturing. Students can relate to 3D modeling easily since they have dealt with 3D objects since early childhood. The success of the theory hinges on utilizing an "enhanced" CAE Lab that is based on a unique "LINKING" hardware system that connects the instructor and individual students' computers allowing communication and individualized self-paced instruction. This "individualized" approach will enhance the students' interest and desire to continue the study of engineering and allow them to exit the class with a more uniform level of knowledge and experience.
