Future work willevaluate specific strategies and interventions to address this issue.IntroductionSignificant social, economic, and technological shifts have profoundly transformed the work andcollaborative practices of contemporary engineers [1, 2]. Present-day engineers must adjust tocontinuously evolving job requirements and tackle progressively intricate and ambiguousproblems that demand innovative and interdisciplinary solutions [3].

Robin Fowler is a Technical Communication lecturer and a Engineering Education researcher at the University of Michigan. Her teaching is primarily in team-based engineering courses, and her research focuses on equity in communication and collaboration as well as in group design decision making (judgment) under uncertainty. She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how

Beyond academia, spatial ability has also been linked to success in professional STEMfields [18].Spatial skills are malleable meaning that they can be taught and enhanced through targetedinterventions [19]. Such interventions that can be integrated into academic coursework includeactivities in engineering design, technological literacy, scientific inquiry, and mathematicalthinking [20]. The format of spatial interventions ranges from the implementation of entirecourses [21], [22] to physical manipulatives intended to teach specific concepts. Furthermore,once learned, spatial skills can be maintained over time [19].In order to effectively measure gains in spatial ability

. Building on the conceptual framework that hands-on learning mayenhance cognitive engagement, we examined how the type of instructional approach —specifically, a hands-on method versus a traditional control approach — influences students'ICAP scores. The ICAP framework suggests that deeper cognitive engagement throughinteractive and active activities leads to more effective learning outcomes. Furthermore, weassessed the impact of educational technology by investigating the effects of different Low-CostDesktop Learning Modules (LCDLMs) on students' post-test scores.
