education had numerous benefitsincluding improved learning and achievement in science and mathematics; increased awarenessof engineering and the work of engineers; understanding of and the ability to engage inengineering design; interest in pursuing engineering as a career; and increased technologicalliteracy.2Initially, individual states led the effort to include engineering in K-12 education. More recently,attention has shifted to the national level with the integration of engineering design into the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS). The NRC notes that the insight and interest students gainfrom this integration should “help students see how science and engineering are instrumental inaddressing major challenges that confront society today

curriculum.An approach to enhance spatial thinking or spatial reasoning skills is learning three-dimensional(3D) modeling [4]. 3D modeling involves several steps and design decisions to make sure that afeasible design is made. Learning 3D modeling is supposed to not only enhance students’ designdecisions but also improve their spatial thinking ability. With the proliferation of consumer-level3D printing, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR), there is a sparked interestamong educators to teach 3D modeling using tools like Tinkercad in formal and informal settings[5], [6]. An additional benefit of 3D modeling knowledge is the career path it opens. Severalcompanies and industries are in the need for 3D designers for a variety of projects

Also, many teachers prior to the program where not aware of the disciplines ofengineering and how these areas of study translate into engineering careers, products, andservices. During group and individual interviews of teachers, many remarked that they weresurprised at how long it took graduate students to work on design engineering experiments,equipment and procedures, where students would often iterate when something did not work asplanned. They indicated that they would take these types of experiences back to their classroomsto illustrate to their students the cyclic nature of the engineering design cycle.

performance is one of many reasons why students drop out ofSTEM career programs [22]. Aside from transfer students who may experience high stress due tochanging school cultures, students who perform poorly on initial exams may suffer from poorself-esteem and doubt their ability to succeed in engineering. Such self-doubt may result inemotional disengagement with learning tasks. Disengaged and poor-performing students areoften at risk of withdrawing from engineering courses, such as statics, that they deem to becognitively challenging. Because resilience is particularly relevant for students who experienceinitial poor performance, we will study the resilience/academic performance relationships ofstudents who struggle initially in statics and either

To be ready to enter the workforce upon graduation, today’s engineering studentsare expected to develop the skills and knowledge that are fundamental to engineering careers in theirundergraduate years. The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) has determinedthat fundamental skills include social skills, such as how to communicate effectively or function inmultidisciplinary teams, as well as proven technical skills, such as an ability to apply knowledge of math,science, and engineering [6], [18]. These skills can be referred to collectively as 21st century skills as theyprepare an engineer for contemporary work [7].The acquisition of 21st century skills by undergraduate engineering students may be catalyzed byengaging
