The United States’ science, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) workforce is aging while jobs requiring specialized training are growing at fivetimes the rate of other occupations[1, 2]. STEM workers, who use science and math to solveproblems, are needed to replace the many highly skilled workers who will retire over the nextdecade. A heterogeneous and culturally diverse workforce creates competitive advantage throughgreater creativity and innovation, and increased quality of team problem solving based onmultiple perspectives[3-5].

Similarly,knowing how forces are represented visually in diagrams is a skill that successful engineeringstudents have. However, many college students have difficulty understanding how physics-basedprinciples are represented visually. As a result, the types of problems assigned in courses likestatics and thermodynamics that utilize these visual representations may be one reason theseclasses are perceived as difficult.
