Outlines steps to follow and recommends special features when selecting equipment for an engineering computer graphics laboratory. Expansion features are also discussed. Provides a systems checklist for software and hardware. (CS)

Describes an introductory computer module required for all freshmen engineering students at Vanderbilt University. Computer graphics are used to increase student interest and sense of accomplishment. (SL)

Reports the results of the third survey of computer use in engineering education conducted in the fall of 1987 in comparing with 1981 and 1984 results. Summarizes survey data on computer course credits, languages, equipment use, CAD/CAM instruction, faculty access, and computer graphics. (YP)

Described is a project where undergraduate engineering students worked with industry to produce isometric assembly drawings that showed the assembly process used in the production of various products. The drawings were produced using computer-assisted design software. (KR)

A course curriculum model that shows how modern engineering design graphics can be used to conceptualize, develop, analyze, and communicate engineering designs is presented. Background studies, early investigations, and a weekly curriculum outline of the course are provided. (KR)

Reports on a study of Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) programs that were considered to be of outstanding quality. Although programs (and individuals) are not identified, the article addresses their general geographic locations, departmental characteristics, curricula, lab courses, facilities, and their use of computers.
