A case study on the haptic understanding in the teaching of Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS)

Abstract

This case study examines haptic understanding in the teaching of Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS). As part of a lecture in the field of GPS, mechanical engineering students were given a group task involving the standard-compliant creation of a technical drawing. During their work, they were divided into three groups and subjected to a short knowledge test. Depending on their group assignment, they were given the following tools, partly from a hybrid learning kit: technical drawings, technical drawings and 3D CAD model, technical drawings and a haptic model. Finally, the tools were evaluated.
