. Page 11.852.2Engineers and technologists are important and vita to the profitability of the US economy. The U.S. Department ofLabor statistics reveal that 20% more engineers are needed over the next decade2 and that Engineering education hadits “peak” of student majors in the early 1980’s with over 450,000 students entering into some form of engineeringor technology program. But since that time, the nation has experienced a 25% drop in students majoring in a fieldrelated to engineering. Included in this downward trend, diversity continues to be a struggle as well. As of to date,consider the statistic that of the four million students graduating from high school each year, only two percent willearn an engineering degree, and only one percent of

stereo method and studentswho used the polarized stereo method.Although Volbracht et al.’s study provided quantified effectiveness measures for different displaymethods, they only collected data related to their subjects’ objective performance, when using thedifferent display methods. However, Mills and deAraujo (1999) determined that students’subjective perceptions of technologies used in teaching should not be ignored when comparingthe effectiveness of different technologies used in education.The research problem of this study was to determine whether there is a significant difference inthe effectiveness of anaglyphic and HMD-based stereo display methods in design and graphicseducation. Specifically, the study intended to measure the impact of

Serial presentation of information that needs to be integrated means that either thechunks of information need to be rehearsed and held in short term memory until the otherinformation is available or integrated and then retrieved from long term memory.However, this information may not be readily accessible from long term memory if the Page 11.1369.5learner cannot relate it back to the concept being learned. Similar to serial presentation ofinformation, if the material is spread out in the visual field, effort is needed to search outand fixate on the different pieces of information sequentially.3.
