Engineering design that requires mathematical analysis, scientific understanding, and technology is critical for preparing students for solving engineering problems. In simulated design environments, students are expected to learn about science and engineering through their design. However, there is a lack of understanding concerning linking…

The geometric design of roofs is a key element in the design and construction of buildings. Roofs play an important role in protecting buildings from the weather and providing esthetic appearance and functionality. Theoretically, to design a roof over a given plan means to construct the projections of the intersections of the roof planes. All this…

In response to evolving engineering education, there is a growing focus on fostering students' practical skills. This study implemented a Mini Project Based Learning (MPBL) approach within the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course. The tasks involved SOLIDWORKS modelling, writing CNC code using CADEM seeNC Turn software, and hands-on CNC…

The past decades witness an ongoing interest in reconceptualizing writing as digital multimodal composing (DMC). The emergence of language and multimodal generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools leads to new forms of DMC processes and products. Yet prior studies have mostly examined non-GAI-assisted DMC, and few have explored how…
