Then, we did a deeperlook searching for terms related to “making,” including “building,” “3D printing,” and“designing,” that implied students were using the Makerspace. After collecting all the quotes, wesorted them into five categories regarding the context of mention of the Makerspace: 1. Generic perspectives on the Makerspace student group

A research study has been executed within a fluid power course to assess the impact ofMR on students' spatial skills and engineering learning outcomes. The MR module,encompassing a 10-minute tutorial session and a 20-minute simulation lab, was administered to102 students enrolled in the course. The Revised PSVT:R assessment tool, provided by PurdueUniversity, was employed to evaluate improvements in students' spatial skills.
