analytics can be used in some academic activities,one of them being prediction of performance or behavior, which relates to the field of spatialvisualization skills. There is a variety of tests that have been applied to measure spatialvisualization skills of students, and there are numerous studies that have collected and analyzedinformation regarding demographics, spatial visualization skills, and academic performance [3 -5]. Of interest is the study where spatial visualization skills is something that has been linked toabilities to do engineering and technology work; subsequent studies have provided a relationshipbetween the spatial visualization skills of students and their performance in engineering courses,particularly for engineering graphics
“engineering” were examined. The five most frequently reported conceptsfor innovation within the transcripts were “innovative”, “technology”, “industry”, “initiative”and “future", and the most frequently reported highest related concepts for engineering were“engineer”, “technical”, “designing”, “mechanical”, “knowledge” and “project”. The top five related concepts were compared to the strength of the ranked association toinnovation and engineering, with no pattern detected. However, comparing most related conceptsbetween self-described innovative and non-innovative positions demonstrated more connectionto qualitative assessment: While both groups shared “technology”, “development”, “industry”and “focus” as four out of the five most closely

ENG 3 was piloted in collaborationwith the UCD Student Farm named “Physical Computing Design Solutions for Farmers.” Thedesign project fulfilled key objectives of the course, namely to introduce the engineering designprocess and to provide a meaningful experience for students to develop their oral and technicalcommunication skills. All students were provided digital technology kits for use in the projectand instruction in order to create a more level-playing field for those who lacked priorexperience. Through the project, students worked in collaborative teams to address an authenticopen-ended on-campus challenge with broader real-world implications. Project milestones werestructured around a series of formative communication assignments (e.g
