Analysis of collaborative CAD user actions in design sprint: insights from an educational setting

Abstract

AbstractDesign sprints complement traditional teaching methods, especially in project-based learning courses. While this approach can potentially change Computer-Aided Design (CAD) usage, it is still underexplored. Therefore, this study explores the influence of design sprints on embodiment-focused CAD activities in project-based learning by examining differences in patterns of CAD user actions, focusing on design space and action types. The case involves two higher-graded and two lower-graded student design teams monitored with a non-invasive method across a two-day design sprint event.
