This article describes the Hill-Climb project of a second level Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) class. The author primarily designed the activity to increase student understanding of the assembly drawing process and its components. The emphasis on problem solving adds a dimension that can aid students in their other classes as well. By working within the constraints of the design brief, students are always seeking creative and unique ways to reach their goals. The activity also benefits students in requiring them to assess and solve problems scientifically at a higher level as described in Bloom's Taxonomy. After learning the basic terminology and concepts behind the project, students quickly move into situations involving application and analysis. As the project develops, they work with synthesis and evaluation activities. This project allows students to work at these higher levels of learning and be challenged without feeling overwhelmed.
