McDonald, C M; Millen, B J Department of Manufacturing and Automation, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Alberta Canada colin.mcdonald@sait.ca; ben.millen@sait.ca INTRODUCTION The authors have undertaken the design and development of a Digital Prototyping course for final-semester students in the Mechanical Engineering Technologies [MET] program at SAIT Polytechnic. The purpose of the course is to equip students with an ability to use advanced solid modeling and analysis tools in a digital environment to limit the number of physical iterations required in a product development process. Participating students present in their fourth semester of study with a basic understanding of techniques associated with solid modeling while undergoing a capstone project in parallel with the course. The challenge in developing the course is twofold – first a learning environment that facilitates guided exploration of the advanced functionality associated with a software package, in this case the Autodesk suite of product design applications, must be established. Second, the continuously evolving nature of the software must be accommodated. The latter is a key problem for intermediate-to-advanced software courses, as the software enhancement cycle is often shorter than the course frequency. We proposed a framework in which we could explore the viability of mixed instructorand student-led learning, relying on the students’ enthusiasm for self discovery of new software functionality as it related to their specific needs and interests.
