reports are a very small set of the work that has been conducted in the field, thecomplete set of works indicate the interest in having appropriate materials for improvement ofspatial visualization skills, perhaps given the reports that such skills are a significant factorpredicting success in technological programs [Sorby, 2005]. Visualization skills competency isnowadays being used for career advising, identification of potential success or need for additionalacademic preparation, and even as an admission factor.BackgroundIn most engineering and technology degrees students are required to have a course in technicalgraphics. There is variety of contents and approaches being used nowadays, with the most typicaloffering being a first-year course

structures in aclassroom setting.IntroductionThe advent of digital technology has given rise to a number of educational innovations, manyof which involve the use of computer graphics and digital simulation of environments,processes, and objectives. One of the most well-known of these innovations is virtual reality(VR), which involves the recreation of a process or setting in a strictly virtual environment,without physical props or interaction. This enables learners to explore an environment incomplete safety, and immerse themselves into settings that would otherwise be inaccessibleor too complex to recreate in physical form. This is especially important in the various fieldsof engineering, which would otherwise entail exposure to hazardous
visualization skills.From the author’s teaching experience, students who have weak spatial ability cannotbenefit much from 3-D computer models in a solid modeling environment. The surveyresults in the next section show students’ responses regarding this conclusion. Researchconfirmed that 3-D computer models in a solid modeling environment do not developspatial visualization skills as well as hand sketch [4].Perimeter College (GSU-PC), which consolidated with Georgia State University (GSU)in fall 2016, is one of the largest feeder schools for the Georgia Institute of Technology,Kennesaw State University and Georgia Southern University.
