“…Modelling with digital design tools requires both procedural and declarative modes of thinking i.e. mentally breaking an object into simple objects and executing a series of commands (Hamade et al 2007). This coincides with the ''draw and modify'' working principle of the current commercial CAD software i.e.…”

This paper investigates the interactions between design students' cognitive styles, as measured by Riding's Cognitive Styles Analysis, and performance in 2D drafting and design tasks in digital media. An empirical research revealed that Imager students outperformed Verbalisers in both drafting and creativity scores. Wholist-Analytic cognitive style dimension was found to be independent from drafting and design performance. The study suggests that examining the cognitive styles of students in Computer Aided Design (CAD) education deserves further attention and may facilitate for improvements in learning processes. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V

“…Recent works are notably oriented to consider final learning as the sum of cognitive and technical components. Hamade et al [7] develop a method to assess the speed and proficiency of CAD systems learning, based on test exercises and on the measure of two objective factors, performance time and feature count. The study interest lies not only in the objectivity and portability to other contexts, but also in the distinction between procedural and declarative knowledge.…”

The paper explores the potentialities of virtual reality (VR) to improve the learning process of mechanical product design. It is focused on the definition of a proper experimental VR-based set-up whose performance matches mechanical design learning purposes, such as assemblability and tolerances prescription. The method consists of two main activities: VR technologies benchmarking based on sensory feedback and evaluation of how VR tools impact on learning curves. In order to quantify the performance of the technology, an experimental protocol is defined and an testing plan is set. Evaluation parameters are divided into performance and usability metrics to distinguish between the cognitive and technical aspects of the learning process. The experimental VR-based set up is tested on students in mechanical engineering through the application of the protocol.

The many applications of CAD/CAM softwares in the metal-mechanical industry have led to the presence of disciplines involving these subjects in the curriculums of related courses. To prevent the lessons from being turned into a course on using specific software, we have prepared a model of fully contextualized lessons, where the practical reality of the manufacturing process is discussed, not only the functioning of the software tools.The content schedule was organized according to the main manufacturing processes found in the metalmechanical industry. Thus, the fact of drawing a simple model, adding data relating to the production process in question, makes it clear that inducing the student to seek such information for resolution of the drawings, trains them in the aspect of research, problem solving and handling software.
