Application of computer aided techniques to metal working professional engineering drawing

APPLICATION OF COMPUTER AIDED TECHNIQUES TO METAL WORKING PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING DRAWING SUMMARY Key Words: Professional engineering drawing and design, Teaching material, Animation, Computer aided education (CAE) ît is crucial to use computer to improve the learning motivation of the students and enhance teaching efficiencies in the giving courses. Computer aided education (CAE) provides many advantages in modern education systems. Therefore, it is advised to teachers using this method. However, the proper teaching materials are required for presentation of the subjects with CAE. Development of the materials can be performed with professional groups and is taken long time. In this study, it is tried to develop teaching material for professional engineering drawing and design using animation programme. The animation is prepared for the technical drawing of metal works which provides easy learning for students and the explanatory teaching for teachers, thus improving the drawing skills. Moreover students are able to follow the lesson by the time the lesson has finished and thus the teaching efficiency at the lesson is increased. The results show that the developed materials by animation are very useful and would be taken extra ordinary results with a few alterations of the teaching materials. XI
