This webinar will present a new view of STEM education by highlighting how random combinations can drive radical innovation while opening students’ eyes to world of patterns, shapes and artistic designs using 3D CAD Modeling and Conceptual Design Blending.
This webinar will present a new view of STEM education by highlighting how random combinations can drive radical innovation while opening students’ eyes to world of patterns, shapes and artistic designs using 3D CAD Modeling and Conceptual Design Blending.
The webinar will cover:
- How blending two or more concepts in the same mental space can form new ideas
- How blending facilitates critical thinking
- How it can improve a students’ spatial ability.
This free class material is a collision of art, nature, engineering and math, where art and abstract ideas become the “on-ramp” to the study of STEM.
About the Speaker:
John Devitry – Research Fellow at the Center of Space Engineering – Utah State University.
From 2004 – 2014 John taught introductory classes for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at USU while also working as the CAD Administrator at Space Dynamics Laboratory – the research arm of USU.
Over the years John has a developed a unique and compelling approach to teaching mechanical engineering and 3D design, introducing the concept of Conceptual Design Blending as a way to facilitate creative thinking with engineering graphics students.
Earlier is his career John worked for 3D Systems, promoting rapid prototyping and rapid tooling technologies visiting hundreds of leading design and manufacturing companies around the world. He holds 3 patents developing the product from concept to market, selling the patent rights to independent investors. John holds a BSc in Engineering from Brigham Young University and has published 3 articles in BYU Studies.
