Timeline

June 2018 – June 2019

Overview

The aim of this pilot is to move the focus of teaching from the routine-like use of CAD-programs to the basics of engineering design and modeling. This is achieved through using of online tools and appropriate pedagogical methods, as well as the development of educational material. For drawing (AutoCad), an automatic checker is created for the assignment. For elemental modeling (FEM), automation of the verification is investigated.

Platforms and tools

Autodesk AutoCAD

Pedagogical methods

Self-study, group work, e-learning, peer review and support.
