’ spatial visualization skills for increased studentsuccess. The proposed methodology includes two steps: identifying students who should receiveremediation in spatial visualization and improving the existing Engineering Graphics courseofferings. An online test to assess students’ spatial visualization skills created by PurdueUniversity, a partner school in the ENGAGE project, was given to all engineering and sciencefreshman students at Kettering University. Based on the results, all students who scored lowerthan 60% will be recommended to take a spatial visualization course which will be developed asone of the deliverables in the NSF-ENGAGE grant. In addition, by testing students’ spatialvisualization skills before and after the existing initial
