Sreekanth, Anusha Parampalli; Viswanathan, Vimal K. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
The efficiency and popularity of computer-aided design (CAD) packages have been continually improving over the past couple of decades. Most of the graduating engineers are proficient in their use and prefer using CAD models instead of simple freehand sketches to communicate their ideas. While these CAD models can enable better visualization of the…

Gueye, Youssoupha; Abouchadi, Hamid; Abouelala, Mourad; Janan, Mourad Taha – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This paper presents the results of a study on the integration of modelling and simulation tools in mechanical design. Indeed, optimisation of the design process often uses modelling and simulation tools in mechanical design activities. Thus, to meet the needs of the labour market, training situations in this field use communication and information…

Toto, Roxanne; Colledge, Thomas; Frederick, David; Pung, Wik Hung – Advances in Engineering Education, 2014
Reflective of current trends in industry, engineering design professionals are expected to have knowledge of 3D modeling software. Responding to this need, engineering curricula seek to effectively prepare students for the workforce by requiring instruction in the use of 3D parametric solid modeling. Recent literature contains many examples that…

Steinhauer, H. M. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2012
Engineering graphics has historically been viewed as a challenging course to teach as students struggle to grasp and understand the fundamental concepts and then to master their proper application. The emergence of stable, fast, affordable 3D parametric modeling platforms such as CATIA, Pro-E, and AutoCAD while providing several pedagogical…
