AB  - This GIFTS presentation describes recent changes to how CAD is taught in a first-year engineering design course. First-year engineering design courses often serve as the initial touch point with engineering design for most engineering students at the college level. At Penn State, the first-year engineering design course - Cornerstone Engineering Design - has been through multiple iterations, with recent changes focused on standardizing the course content while restructuring the semester’s projects. For this GIFTS talk, three course learning objectives are of particular focus: apply engineering design to address design opportunities; communicate engineering concepts and designs; and gain experience in hands-on fabrication while developing a “maker” mindset. While CAD has long been a component of this course, we sought to better integrate the modeling software (both learning and application) as a design tool, requiring significant changes to the structure of the course. While the original design of the course exposed students to how to use a CAD software package, it was not well integrated into a design project; therefore, there was an opportunity to better support the course’s learning objectives. The new course structure incorporates introduction to CAD into a 2-week maker project; turns lessons for each specific CAD feature into asynchronous mini design challenges that students present during class; and integrates the semester’s CAD learning into a two-week personal design project focused on user-centered design and manufacturability. These changes help students to understand that CAD is a tool to further design and its communication.
