摘要：This paper describes a novel approach used in a first year engineering at UBC to teach computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping as part of a real-world design project. It is centred on the design of an assistive technology device for a real client who is a quadriplegic and has limited use of his hands. Notably, students were able to create their designs in CAD without receiving any formal instruction on the use of the tool. In addition to CAD and rapid prototyping,the project integrated elements of stakeholder engagement, design, decision-making, and communication. By the end of the three-week module, students submitted a technical memorandum recommending their design, and they were able to submit their CAD files for 3D printing and for entry into an inaugural assistive technology design competition.
