American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Engage Engineering and Science 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. KetteringUniversity 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 an approach to improve students

University of Texas - Pan American.This endeavor concentrates on student retention of the materials being studied, as well as thestudents’ ability to practically apply their new skills. Minority science, technology, engineering,and math (STEM) students have been found, in recent studies, to depart from STEMundergraduate fields to some extent because of the lack of real world connections to the subjectmatter being taught in the classroom. Also, the traditional way of teaching theory first and thenassigning a task may actually stifle creative thought and innovation required in later STEMcourses. Using a CBI approach, the target lessons will be, in effect, taught backwards. In otherwords, the students are presented with a challenge, and then, only when
