AB  -                  Lessons Learned in Engaging Engineering Students                   by Improving Their Spatial Visualization SkillsAbstractResearch has shown that students with enhanced spatial visualization skills, the ability to see andthink in 3-D, are more successful in engineering, technology, computer science, chemistry andmathematics courses. These skills can be developed with training and practice. XXX (for blindreview) University is one of the 10 selected schools in the NSF – ENGAGE Group(http://www.engageengineering.org/?page=6). The three main themes of the ENGAGE grant areFaculty Interaction, Everyday Engineering Examples, and Spatial Visualization. This paperpresents lessons learned in an approach to improve students’ spatial visualization skills forincreased student success. The proposed methodology includes two steps: identifying studentswho should receive remediation in spatial visualization and improving the existing EngineeringGraphics course offerings. An online test to assess students’ spatial visualization skills created byPurdue University, a partner school in the ENGAGE project, was given to all engineering andscience freshman students at XXX University. Based on the results, all students who scoredlower than 60% will be recommended to take a spatial visualization course which will bedeveloped as one of the deliverables in the NSF-ENGAGE grant. In addition, by testing students’spatial visualization skills before and after the existing initial Engineering Graphics course,several improvements were implemented. The enhancements to the existing EngineeringGraphics course are discussed.
