A Comparison of Learning Style Models and ASsessment Instruments for University Graphics Educators
Get PDFKolb (2004) and others have defined learning style as a preference by which students learn and remember what they have learned. This presentation will include a summary of learning style research published in the Engineering Design Graphics Journal over the past 15 years on the topic of learning styles and graphics education. The presenters will also examine several learning style models and why they are important to the university graphics professor. Discussion will include a review of some of the learning style tests that are now available on the market. We will discuss how and why higher education student learning has changed in the last decade and introduce the concept of the social construction of technology

Secondary Engineering Design Graphics Educator Service Load of Students with Identified Categorical Disabilities and Limited English Proficiency
Get PDFThe ever-changing student population of engineering design graphics students necessitates broader sets of instructor adeptness. Specifically, preparedness to educate and provide adequate educational access to content for students with identified categorical disabilities and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) is now an essential readiness skill for engineering design graphics educators at the secondary level (see Appendix A for a full list of acronyms). Through the School and Staffing Survey Teacher Questionnaire (SASS TQ), engineering design graphics educator service load results for students with disabilities and LEP were identified. Of specific note was the upward service load trend between the 2007-2008 SASS TQ and the 2011-2012 SASS TQ and the implications for high school engineering design graphics courses, learning environments, and teacher abilities
Using Virtual Reality for Community Outreach and Student Recruitment
Get PDFAn antique phone booth was converted into an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) booth to use for potential student recruitment, current student demonstrations, and community outreach. Satisfaction data was collected using a HappyOrNot Smiley Terminal™. In total, 215 users provided feedback on their VR experi¬ence over 142 consecutive days. Eighty percent of respondents found their VR experience to be positive (n = 173). A correlation between student recruitment and VR booth use could not be made. However, the booth proved to be effective in displaying student work and has received positive praise from stakeholders (i.e., students, faculty, staff, administration, and community)
Message from the Editor - Inspiration
No full textThis Engineering Design Graphics Journal issue is the first solely digital edition with our new human computer interface design. Because of the rising costs of printing and the resource stress of today’s economy, the Engineering Design Graphics Division is feeling the pain. We are the oldest division of the American Society of Engineering Education and we hope to be around for many more years. We may look different. We may eventually have a different name, but underneath it all, we are still alive and well. ;-) In this issue we have three articles on spatial visualization instruction and curriculum and one technical article. The first article “Spatial Ability Improvement and Curriculum Content” by Patrick E. Connolly reviews the foundational history of spatial visualization curriculum research in our Engineering Design Graphics Division. The conference presentation “Advanced Instructions: Facilitation of Individual Learning Processes in Large Groups” by Claus Püetz and Dipl.-Ing. Geesche Intween from Germany receives the Oppenheimer Award. This article focuses on learning processes in spatial-geometric cognition using CAD. The Chair Award goes to Ted Branoff and Eric Wiebe, who offer discussions about the relative advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face, hybrid, and online delivery of a CAD course. Andrew C. Kellie discusses the character and challenges inherent in the graphical portrayal of features in subsurface mapping in his technical article “Subsurface Mapping: A Question of Position and Interpretation.” In between reading through the proofs of the articles, I am glancing out my kitchen window at the snow on the ground and in the trees. It gives me an opportunity to have a reflective, quiet moment in my busy life. It is in those rare opportunities that I think about the people in my professional life and how my life has changed because of my interactions with them. Both positive and negative experiences in our lives help us grow. I am inspired by the success of others. I learned early on that we are all in this thing called life together. This morning my thoughts are gravitating to the students in my IDeaLaboratory at Purdue University. My lab partner Nicoletta Adamo-Villani and I have been putting in some long hours with the students working on our computer graphics research and development projects. I see our students (the “IDeaGurus”) working all hours of the night in the lab trying to meet proposal and funded project deadlines. They put up with our intensity without too much flinching. They understand that failing leads to learning what not to do, so that they do not repeat the same error twice. ;-) They experience the joy of hard work and the pride and empowerment that comes with taking your own initiative and creatively solving problems. These students will be the future authors of the journal articles, the future leaders of our professional division, and the future leaders of our society. In spite of the economic mess we have left the next generation in our country, I am optimistic about the future of technology and engineering innovation... because these students are MY inspiration. -- La Verne Abe Harris, Ph.D
Message from the Chair
Get PDFAs I sit down to write this message, the spring sunshine is pouring through my window after a long, cold winter. Each year we have this wonderful time of new beginnings. By the time you read this message, the Engineering Design Graphics Division will have installed its new slate of officers, and they will begin their work to carry out the mission of the division. I will hand over the gavel of leadership to Ron Paré, assisted as vice chair by Ted Branoff. Our new director of Technical and Professional, Nate Hartman, and Director of Zones, Pat Connolly, bring their enthusiasm to those committees. I hope that you will all give them your utmost support along with the other officers of the division as we work together to strengthen our membership and strive towards educating our students in Engineering Graphics. Springtime is also a time of endings in our academic year, as we wrap up our courses and say goodbye to our graduating seniors, so too, I say goodbye to you as your division chair. I would like to thank all of the officers who have worked so hard to keep the division going. There are many active members in addition to the elected officers, and so I will not mention them all individually, but I want you all to know that I deeply appreciate your commitment to the division. I look forward to seeing you all at the annual meeting in Portland, and the midyear meeting in Fort Lauderdale. I say goodbye to you as your division chair. I would like to thank all of the officers who have worked so hard to keep the division going
