Zaman, Mohd Hairi Mohd; Mokhtar, Mohd Hadri Hafiz; Ibrahim, Mohd Faisal; Huddin, Aqilah Baseri; Beng, Gan Kok – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2020
Engineering students at an undergraduate level typically learn the design aspect and concept through lectures and practical sessions using computeraided software. However, the current computer-aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE) course did not expose the students to apply and relate the latest advanced technologies to solve global issues, for…

Colorado, Henry A.; Mendoza, David E.; Valencia, Fernando L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
This research presents results for the design and creation of supporting teaching materials using additive manufacturing. The materials are inspired by selected artwork of four animal species, which belong to a collection from the museum of the University of Antioquia. The topic selected was fauna in Colombia, and the animals in question were…

Bairaktarova, Diana; Williams, Daron; Katsioloudis, Petros J. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
For the last decade, remedial spatial visualization training has been offered to first-year engineering students in traditional classroom settings where students attend class and interact face-to-face with an instructor and peers. An alternative to the traditional pedagogical approach is a multi-modal blended learning format that combines in-class…

Orr, Taylor; Flowers, Jim – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2015
3D printing is becoming ever more popular in both the manufacturing world as well as in technology and engineering education classrooms all over the United States. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process in which successive layers of material are built up to produce three-dimensional objects from computer-aided design (CAD) files, making…

Katherine J. Stephenson – ProQuest LLC, 2017
While the changing nature of design activity is a topic supported by a range of popular and academic publications, the role that design tools have taken in that change is less well studied. The tools used in the trade, both by industrial designers and mechanical engineers, have undergone a rapid transformation in the last fifty years. The research…

3-D Printers Spread from Engineering Departments to Designs across Disciplines
Direct linkDirect link
Chen, Angela – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2012
The ability to print a 3-D object may sound like science fiction, but it has been around in some form since the 1980s. Also called rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing, the idea is to take a design from a computer file and forge it into an object, often in flat cross-sections that can be assembled into a larger whole. While the printer on…
