Computer-aided design (CAD) tools play a significant role in the modern product commercialization environment. As CAD and general CAx technology advances, it becomes more important to understand how engineers adapt their expertise to new environments and problems. This work examines a methodology consisting of a set of surveys, interviews, and exercises with a small group of practicing engineers to assess adaptive expertise (AE) and relate this AE to CAD modeling performance and procedures. Results detail AE survey results, a modeling and alteration exercise, and an exercise where engineers are asked to model a component using a CAD platform they are unfamiliar with. Interview and time use (from screen capture videos) results from this exercise are presented along with other data. Correlations among AE survey and interview variables and model analysis variables are presented. The epistemology dimension of the AE survey was found to be negatively correlated with both original modeling and alteration time. Overall modeling time in the different platform was positively correlated with the percentage of time a participant spent engaging in trial and error; modeling time in the different platform was negatively correlated with percentage of time spent doing actual modeling and the time spent thinking.

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 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...
A Scheduling method for sporadic traffics in industrial IoT Özceylan, Baver; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Internet of Things technology continues to develop as a commercial value and it has become one of the core elements of Industry 4.0 paradigm. Together with that, IEEE 802.15.4e standard provides Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) operation mode especially for industrial applications that have strict QoS requirements. In spite of the fact that the standard defines frame structure in MAC layer, there has been no standardization in scheduling for TSCH frame yet. It brings serious challenge for engineering des...
A composite dislocation cell model to describe strain path change effects in BCC metals Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (IOP Publishing, 2009-11-16) Sheet metal forming processes are within the core of many modern manufacturing technologies, as applied in, e.g., automotive and packaging industries. Initially flat sheet material is forced to transform plastically into a three-dimensional shape through complex loading modes. Deviation from a proportional strain path is associated with hardening or softening of the material due to the induced plastic anisotropy resulting from the prior deformation. The main cause of these transient anisotropic effects at m...
A User-centred Materials Selection Approach for Product Designers Van Kesteren , Ilse (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2010) In the materials selection process of user-centred design projects, the emphasis shifts from technology towards user-interaction aspects of products. Materials form the interface of the product with the user and influence the sense of quality, pleasantness of interaction, personality of the product, and the way it can be used. The human senses, as the interface of the user, play essential roles in this interaction. A new materials selection model has been created for the purpose of understanding the c...
