Abstract
An inclusive half-year exercise system for mechanical design and drawing education is introduced. This includes plan of a mechanical system (part of tension-torsion testing machine), design by Microsoft Excel and sample figures, completion of technical design report, drawing of an assembly and parts, and self-check according to the check list. With help from teaching assistants redesigning of the geometry and material selection is also obligatory. Final goal of this exercise and the role of teaching assistants are clearly defined. These lead students to try to consider for themselves. According to the students' estimates, skill for PC, and ability for design, drawing and completing technical reports are increased in spite of the toughness of the problem. For further progress, the number of teaching assistants and sample parts are requested.
