The fast changing pace of modern CAD tools has demanded the users to be more adaptive to apply their CAD skills. This paper presents the initial work to transform adaptive expertise in the CAD education. An adaptive expertise survey (AES) and a contextual exercise were implemented in a freshman CAD class. The students' responses to the survey and interviews were analyzed. The CAD models were evaluated based on the attributes. The statistically significant relationships among the variables are reported. The analyses examined the role of adaptive expertise in CAD modeling and the role of learner-centered contextual exercises on CAD modeling procedures. The findings suggest some differences between the students' demographics and their adaptive expertise characteristics and positive effect of the contextual exercise on students' CAD modeling procedures. © 2014 CAD Solutions, LLC.

Examining adaptive expertise: A novel comparison of student and practicing engineer cad modeling performance Johnson, Michael D.; Öztürk, Elif; Yalvac, Bugrahan; Valverde, Lauralee; Peng, Xiaobo; Liu, Ke (2015-01-01) Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are critical in the current fast-paced digital product commercialization environment. As firms move towards a model based enterprise, it becomes more important for engineers to develop the skills necessary to efficiently and effectively model components in CAD. The status of CAD education and training has often been decried as focusing too much on declarative knowledge, namely how to do specific procedures in a specific software program. This is opposed to the strategic kno...
Analysis of contextual computer-Aided design (CAD) exercises Öztürk, Elif; Peng, Xiaobo; Valverde, Lauralee Mariel; Mcgary, Prentiss Dwight; Johnson, Michael (2013-09-24) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technologies are an essential part of modern design endeavors. In today's industry, engineers use CAD models throughout their work. This makes CAD education crucial. However current CAD education has typically focused on narrow skills related to particular CAD software. The skills necessary to adapt new CAD software and effectively utilize the existing models in modified designs are not the primary emphasis in CAD education. In this paper, the most recent findings of a three-year...
Examining the role of contextual exercises and adaptive expertise on CAD model creation procedures Johnson, Michael D.; Öztürk, Elif; Valverde, Lauralee; Yalvac, Bugrahan; Peng, Xiaobo (2013-07-31) As computer-aided design (CAD) tools become more integral in the product commercialization process, ensuring that students have efficient and innovative expertise necessary to adapt becomes more important. This work examines the role of adaptive expertise on CAD modeling behavior and the effect of contextual modeling exercises on the manifestation of behaviors associated with adaptive expertise in a population of student participants. A methodology comprising multiple data elicitation tools is used to exami...
Assessing an adaptive expertise instrument in computer-aided design (CAD) courses at two campuses Johnson, Michael; Öztürk, Elif; Johnson, Joshua; Yalvac, Bugrahan; Peng, Xiaobo (2012-01-01) In today's highly competitive market, CAD tools are widely used and thought to reduce time to market and increase engineering productivity. However, to take advantage of these putative benefits requires proper use of CAD tools. Merely teaching declarative knowledge (particular keystrokes and button picks) in CAD is not sufficient; students should acquire deeper procedural knowledge (design strategy) in CAD. This will allow them to gain a level of expertise that is adaptive in nature. Recent research in engi...
The relationship between socio economic factors and use context in product usability Karapars, Zeynep; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2004) Developments in the usability discipline have lead to new paths in new product development processes. The methods for development of usable products are abundant and the area is crescent for new research. One of the concerns in usability lies in the question of employment of user centered design in the prevailing product development processes. In this study, it is aimed to be clarified that inquiry into the use context should be an initial step in user centered design. However, use context is one of the les...
