Die integrasie van rekenaarondersteunde tekeninge as hulpmiddel in die onderrig van onderwysstudente in ingenieursgrafika en –ontwerp

[摘要] English: This study was undertaken to determine which changes CAD, as new technology,brought to hand-made drawings. CAD is the drawing instrument with whichengineering drawing in future will be done on the computer. CAD as drawinginstrument ensures neat, accurate drawings of photo and video quality. These qualitydrawings can be sent within minutes to almost any place in the world. A 3DP can bemade from a 3D CAD drawing, which allows a designer's imagination free reins.The problem which was investigated in this study is the integration of computer-aideddrawing (CAD) as an essential aid in the teaching-learning of EGD teacher students ina B.Ed. programme at the Central University of Technology. The literature study wasaimed at determining what computer-aided drawing (CAD) is. A qualitative andquantitative research method was used in action research to address the researchproblem. Data were collected by means of questionnaires, interviews andobservation. During the empirical investigation respondents had to answer questionsregarding questions about how the teaching in CAD contributed to the effectivetraining of EGD teacher students at the CUT, which challenges stood in the way ofintegration of CAD in the B.Ed.Technology programme, what were the experiences ofthe EGD students in terms of CAD teaching-learning, and what contribution CADcould make to the training of future EGD teachers.With the study the importance of the integration of CAD in the curriculum of EGD isemphasised, and the role 3DP can play in EGD and in schools was investigated. Inthe study it is recommended that CAD should be integrated with EGD and that theEGD curricula for schools and universities should be reviewed.
