This project will permit the acquisition of the equipment and software necessary to implement the use of advanced Engineering Design Graphics tools throughout the Civil Engineering curriculum. These second generation tools integrate design drafting and analytical engineering. They are defined as modern Engineering Design Graphics (EDG) tools. These tools allow designers to draw three-dimensional models of their designs and then conduct complicated analyses on those models using automated routines that are available within the Computer Aided Engineering software package. Undergraduate engineering students use EDG tools and employ the EDG tools as the focal point for collaborative learning exercises throughout the four- year curriculum. Freshmen are taught the mechanics of using the tools in a new course, Modern Computer Graphics. They then apply their modeling skills in other classes throughout the balance of their work at the school. Seven additional courses are enhanced with experiments and demonstrations using the new equipment. In a senior-level systems design course, the new tools serve as the focal point for a semester-long exercise in collaborative learning.

该项目将允许购买在整个土木工程课程中使用先进的工程设计图形工具所需的设备和软件。这些第二代工具集成了设计绘图和分析工程。它们被定义为现代工程设计图形 (EDG) 工具。这些工具允许设计人员绘制其设计的三维模型，然后使用计算机辅助工程软件包中提供的自动化例程对这些模型进行复杂的分析。工程本科生使用 EDG 工具，并将 EDG 工具作为整个四年课程中协作学习练习的焦点。 新生在新课程“现代计算机图形学”中学习如何使用这些工具。 然后，他们在学校的工作期间将他们的建模技能应用到其他班级。通过使用新设备进行实验和演示，另外七门课程得到了增强。 在高级系统设计课程中，新工具是为期一个学期的协作学习练习的焦点。
