A Freshman Engineering Design Graphics Collaboratory
Barr, R. E.
Engineering Design Graphics Journal, v82 n2 p1-6 Spr 2018
This paper briefly reviews the author's experiences over the past four decades in transforming the Engineering Design Graphics (EDG) curriculum. During this time, the field has seen a remarkable evolution from manual drafting to 3-D computer modeling with its many applications to engineering design and analysis. The paper will further discuss the current status of the EDG curriculum at the author's home institution. The current concept is an EDG collaboratory space, in which teamwork and a design project are the overarching theme in which graphics and 3-D modeling fundamentals are taught.
