Irwin, John L.; Mehendale, Sunil – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2018
This paper is intended to investigate the merits of adding manipulative devices and solid model simulations to accompany traditional lecture and demonstration materials to a Dynamics course. Based on the successes of Graphics courses using manipulative devices and simulation software to enhance spatial visualization skills in engineering students,…

Polys, Nicholas F.; Bacim, Felipe; Setareh, Mehdi; Jones, Brett D. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2015
There has been a significant gap between the tools used for the design of a building's architectural form and those that evaluate the structural physics of that form. Seeking to bring the perspectives of visual design and structural engineering closer together, we developed and evaluated a design tool for students and practitioners to explore the…

Krueger, Thomas J.; Barr, Ronald E. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
Engineering design graphics education has come a long way in the past two decades. The emergence of solid geometric modeling technology has become the focal point for the graphical development of engineering design ideas. The main attraction of this 3-D modeling approach is the downstream application of the data base to analysis and…
