In addition, we provide step-by-step examples of students' engineering design experiences with visual images.

In this paper, we present the design case of the Makecourse-Art with detailed descriptions of the components, and explain the key design decisions, obstacles during the design process, and how the challenges were resolved. Second, interactive team-based classroom activities are offered to students based on student-centered learning theories such as peer-assisted collaborative learning and problem-based learning. First, the explicit form of instruction is delivered through asynchronous video lectures/ tutorials, including topics such as Arduino programming, CAD modeling with the Autodesk Maya, Mudbox, and coding skills. To overcome the unique challenges of the Makecourse (earlier version) and to maximize students' design efforts working on an engineering project in the classroom, the Makecourse-Art incorporated a flipped classroom model utilizing two instructional methods with corresponding activities. The 2018 release of AutoCAD saw the first DWG file format update in recent years, and so, logic would dictate that it was necessary to update Design Review to support AutoCAD’s new format as well.ĭesign Review 2018 is virtually the same as the 2013 release, except for the official support for Windows 10, and cloud-based links to A360, A360 Viewer and BIM360 Docs.ĭesign Review may not be quite dead yet, but it’s pretty much lived it’s lifespan, looks like it’s dead, and has all but been heaped upon the “Dead Cart”.The Makecourse-Art is a makerspace designed to promote undergraduate students' aesthetic design skills as well as functional design skills using an interdisciplinary team approach at the University of South Florida. Included in this release are buttons to bring awareness to users of Autodesks cloud collaboration offerings. This meant that no matter what AutoCAD software version you were running between 20, all of these files were compatible with each other because the DWG file format was still 2013-based. But Design Reviews days are still numbered. I don’t know the reasoning behind this, but I surmise it may have to do with the fact that though Autodesk released a new AutoCAD product version every year, the AutoCAD DWG format had not changed between 20. There have been many who have thought that the lack of development on Autodesk Design Review over the past few annual release cycles was a sign that Autodesk would soon retire the free product.Įven though AutoCAD has received new enhancements and features between the 20 releases, Design Review remained at the 2013 release.
