Engineering Graphics Educational Outcomes for the Global Engineer: An Update
Barr, R. E.
Engineering Design Graphics Journal, v76 n3 p8-12 Fall 2012
This paper discusses the formulation of educational outcomes for engineering graphics that span the global enterprise. Results of two repeated faculty surveys indicate that new computer graphics tools and techniques are now the preferred mode of engineering graphical communication. Specifically, 3-D computer modeling, assembly modeling, and model application to design and manufacturing all received significant notices in the survey results. Results of the surveys also show strong sentiment for some traditional graphics topics such as freehand sketching and dimensioning. Thus, modern engineering graphics should focus on three areas of instruction: (1) Graphics Fundamentals; (2) Computer Graphics Modeling; and (3) Computer Model Applications. (Contains 2 tables and 3 figures.)
