Abstract
This paper outlines a novel engineering graphics and design course at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). The course is designed to enable first year engineering students to learn the engineering design process while at the same time developing strong free-hand sketching and 3-D solid modelling skills. The dual nature of the graphics-design course enables students to learn engineering graphics in a non-isolated manner. The results after two years of offering the course show that first-year team-based projects are feasible and manageable and that first-year engineering students are capable of completing rather complex and innovative solid modelling design projects.
