Fig. 1 2D view of Concord Consortium building in Energy3D Solar design depends on accurate geometry. Rooftop solar panel design requires accurate 3D models of buildings, for example the shape…
…time series analysis to assess engineering design processes using our Energy3D CAD tool. To collect research data without disrupting a design learning process, design actions and artifacts are continuously logged…
Design thinking and engineering design is often taught as a linear, structured approach, but with Paper Mechatronics, tinkering is key. During two different July workshops a group of teachers and…
…Simulations is developing a computer-aided design (CAD) system capable of automatically generating formative feedback to guide students through complex engineering design based on analyzing design artifacts computationally. With the University…
