It has been suggested there is a knowledge base that surrounds the use of 3D modeling within the engineering design process and correspondingly within engineering design graphics education. While solid modeling receives a great deal of attention and discussion relative…

Recently, many individuals have been faced with a transfer of learning issue, surrounding the move from one 3-D CAD system to another.  The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that, with minimal instruction, users can transfer their…

The creation of a stone fruit, pear and citrus integrated pest management (IPM) interdisciplinary network (entomology, and field and post-harvest pathology) to strengthen the exchange of knowledge and experiences of participating working groups is proposed; emphasizing on the development of…

The combination of soil science, forestry, agronomy and biology allowed an analytical comparison of various experimental mixed culture systems. From these studies, a descriptor system was developed which allows to understand the contribution of each plant species to nutrient cycling,…

Engineering and technical graphics professionals have seen major changes in the content and the way we teach our students (Clark & Scales, 2000).  Today, professionals going into fields related to engineering/technical graphics require a broader knowledge of differing forms of…

Spatial ability research has been approached from several psychological vantages since its beginnings in the late 1800s. This contribution attempts a summation of spatial ability research, beginning with a historical vignette and a major section on each psychological approach including…

Abstract:
Universities are increasingly required to provide an education for students that
enables them to acquire global knowledge, skills and languages, so that they can perform
professionally and socially in an international and multicultural context. Although the
situation varies according…

Constraint-based modeling tools, as well as computer graphics tools in general, offer the user many choices in commands and techniques for creating graphics, which forces the user to have a strategy or plan as they proceed. The formulation of this…
