Form Information

Abstract Function to form information used in reasoning about mechanical engineering drawings based on experience in design was investigated. The verbal utterances of expert mechanical designers, quasi-experts (graduate students) and novices while reading 13 mechanical engineering line drawings were recorded and analyzed for function to form relationships. A discriminant analysis of descriptions of these drawings showed similarities and differences between the design features used by each group when reasoning about the drawings. The results of this analysis and their implications for the development of intelligent CAD systems are discussed.

Similarities And Differences

The article discusses the concepts of virtual and augmented realities. The comparison of themwas carried out in order to identify their similarities and differences. The areas of application of these technologies are identified, and the examples of their use are given. The ways of application of VR/AR technologiesin mechanical engineeringare defined, in particular, at the stage of the outline design of the product life cycle. The examples of the use of VR/AR technologies in Russian industrial companies are given.

Abstract A course in Computer Graphics using SolidWorks™ is one of the very first courses that a Mechanical Engineering major would take within the department at Lehigh University. In this course, students learn the basics of engineering graphics with a view towards engineering design. Such a course gives students an overall view of not just the mechanics of creating engineering drawings using SolidWorks, but also one of understanding the consequences of their drawings as they affect tolerances, material selection, fabrication processes as well as the viability of their designs. The very next introductory mechanical engineering course is a laboratory dealing with engineering measurements, data acquisition and testing. This article reports on the use of a 3-D printing exercise to bridge these two somewhat very different courses with different objectives, thereby giving students an early start into understanding the process of design; from a concept to its design and fabrication, and finally, testing and analysis of data. Moreover, it gives a fundamental understanding of the use of 3-D printing that many students would end up using for their Senior Design course in their senior year.

Information Seeking Behaviors

This chapter reviews significant information seeking literature, focusing on general models that can provide a framework for those not familiar with the research in that area. It then explores models and characteristics that are unique to academic users, specifically undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty members, highlighting similarities and differences among these groups of users. Changes to information seeking that have resulted from technological advances are also examined. The chapter concludes with a look at resource discovery tools in light of what is known about the information seeking behaviors of academic users, and recommendations are provided for those considering adoption of resource discovery tools.
