- 4. Kyungeun Sung CAD and CAD education in HE CAD: ▪ Use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis or optimisation of a design ▪ Process in which mathematically precise geometrical descriptions of physical objects can be created CAD education in HE: ▪ Teaching parametric modelling software programmes (e.g. SolidWorks, SolidEdge, TFlex)
- 5. Kyungeun Sung Importance of CAD education in design Benefits of CAD: ▪ Translate sketches into precise CAD models ▪ Refine, develop and test design in a virtual environment ▪ Generate fully-defined technical drawings for global manufacture ▪ Reduce the amount of physical model making ▪ Increase production efficiency (by reducing resources and therefore cost) → Proficiency in CAD: key employability skill (BIDA student employability survey)
- 6. Kyungeun Sung Research gap and aim of this paper Existing research: ▪ Research on CAD education in HE in the context of product development in its infant stage ▪ Focused predominantly on theoretical discussions and high-level suggestions (e.g. CAD education towards Cax education) ▪ Little attention paid to practical implementation of CAD education ▪ Few practical implementation experiences in mechanical engineering ▪ Product design CAD education curricula largely missing → This paper aims to provide the status quo of CAD education curricula in product design in the UK with the case of DMU product design programmes

- 8. Kyungeun Sung De Montfort University (DMU) Product Design (PD) DMU Product Design Programmes: ▪ BA and BSc in the School of Design ▪ Top 3 for student employability in industrial/product design (BIDA 2017) ▪ Accredited by the Institute of Engineering Designers (IED) with the renowned, excellent student outcomes and exemplary resources and handbooks DMU Product Design CAD education:
- 9. Kyungeun Sung DMU PD CAD education curricula Year 1 (CAD and Digital Outputs for Product Designers 1): ▪ Basic solid modelling and assembly, reverse engineering, technical drawing, compelling rendering and simple animation ▪ Through structured learning activities ▪ Assessment by a tutor Year 2 (CAD and Digital Outputs for Product Designers 2): ▪ Advanced modelling (e.g. surface modelling and internal detailing for injection moulding) and assembly, complex technical drawing, compelling rendering and advanced animation ▪ Through independent, self-directed study ▪ Assessment by students – critical reflection and evaluation
- 10. Kyungeun Sung DMU PD CAD education delivery Module delivery: ▪ Active learning with a series of dry-run exercises and projects ▪ 1-hr lecture + 2-hrs practical CAD session per week ▪ Early introduction of projects (assessment) showing constructive alignment Lectures: ▪ New terms, projects, concepts and principles behind the practice (e.g. BS8888) Practical CAD sessions: ▪ Learning by doing + peer learning by helping/teaching each other ▪ A combination of learning materials (e.g. videos, written instructions, live demonstrations, 1-to-1 feedback and support)

- 15. Kyungeun Sung DMU PD CAD module student feedback Mostly positive with constructive suggestions e.g. DESP1002 in 2017/2018: ▪ Satisfaction with lectures (58.8%) vs. CAD sessions (88.2%) ▪ Satisfaction with Project 1 (modelling and technical drawing): 88.2% ▪ Satisfaction with Project 2 (rendering and animation): 64.7% ▪ Satisfaction with written instructions (94.1%) vs. demo videos (58.8%) ▪ Importance (to achieve LOs) of Project 1 and Project 2: 100% ▪ Importance of CAD sessions (88.3%) and written instructions (76.4%) ▪ Importance of lectures (47.1%) and demonstration videos (41.1%) ▪ Suggestions for improvement: less lectures + more tutorial exercises (for advanced students)

- 17. Kyungeun Sung Conclusions ▪ Literature review on CAD education ▪ Knowledge gap in providing practical implementation of actual courses for CAD education from product design perspectives ▪ Aim to provide one such case at DMU, UK ▪ Overview of CAD education curricula + examples ▪ High importance of and satisfaction with active learning (projects and CAD sessions) by students’ module level feedback → Expand our understanding of the status quo of product design CAD education + inform other teachers for (re)designing CAD modules in HE
