Abstract The fast-paced development of high power computing hardware and user-friendly interfaces, along with increasing capabilities of commercial software, are leading to the earlier exposure of students to advanced levels of engineering graphics, design, and analysis tools in undergraduate curricula. Specifically, easy-use of computer aided design packages allow students to practice with engineering analysis aspects beyond solid modeling or engineering graphics. This paper will give details about shape optimization and Generative Design, which are revolutionary techniques for optimization of engineering parts for complex design scenarios and advanced engineering analysis. Surveying of students have indicated overwhelmingly positive feedback for the course and group projects, which appears to have increased their hands-on knowledge and skills with respect to advanced design and engineering analysis software.
