E&PDE 2024 - 26th International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education
The Conference will bring together representatives from education and industry interested in sharing new perspectives on design education.
Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
For the creation of standard-compliant drawings, the international standards system of Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) is fundamental. This paper provides a current perspective on the teaching of GPS. What teaching approaches currently exist? And do these meet the requirements of educators in vocational schools and universities? Particular attention is paid to the use of commercial learning kits. Is learning through haptic models as well as learning by doing outdated in the age of digitalization? What are the learning contents and teaching objectives of such learning kits? To get to the bottom of these questions, a hybrid learning kit, which combines physical models with digital applications, is used and evaluated in a case study with mechanical engineering students as part of a lecture in the field of ISO-GPS [1]. Finally, the findings are presented in an optimized teaching/learning concept. The aim of this study is also to evaluate simple haptic models in the context of teaching GPS content in an increasingly digital society. Can such simple haptic objects still be convincing and help to understand complex issues? Or do students expect the use of technological visualizations from the field of computer vision?
