Direct linkStorer, I. J.; Campbell, R. I. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2012
Industrial Designers need to understand and command a number of modelling techniques to communicate their ideas to themselves and others. Verbal explanations, sketches, engineering drawings, computer aided design (CAD) models and physical prototypes are the most commonly used communication techniques. Within design, unlike some disciplines,…

Branoff, T. J.; Dobelis, M. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2012
Spatial abilities have been used as a predictor of success in several engineering and technology disciplines (Strong & Smith, 2001). In engineering graphics courses, scores on spatial tests have also been used to predict success (Adanez & Velasco, 2002; Leopold, Gorska, & Sorby, 2001). Other studies have shown that some type of…

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…

Barbero, Basilio Ramos; Pedrosa, Carlos Melgosa; Mate, Esteban Garcia – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
The purpose of this study is to determine which 3D viewers should be used for the display of interactive graphic engineering documents, so that the visualization and manipulation of 3D models provide useful support to students of industrial engineering (mechanical, organizational, electronic engineering, etc). The technical features of 26 3D…

Yue, Jianping – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
Spatial visualization is a fundamental skill in technical graphics and engineering designs. From conventional multiview drawing to modern solid modeling using computer-aided design, visualization skills have always been essential for representing three-dimensional objects and assemblies. Researchers have developed various types of tests to measure…

Kinsey, Brad; Towle, Erick; Hwang, Grace; O'Brien, Edward J.; Bauer, Christopher F.; Onyancha, Richard M. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2007
In this paper, results from a subset of the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test and a self-efficacy test developed by the authors are presented to determine whether certain object shapes, orientations, and types of rotations in standard spatial ability tests cause more difficulty than others and whether a solid object, which includes shading to…
