This result indicates that completing the graphics course yielded similar improvementsin spatial skills as completing the workshop. The question then arises, what advantage does theworkshop provide over the engineering graphics course? If significant improvements in spatialability can be made after a 4-week workshop session, in comparison to a 14-week graphics course,that could have a positive outcome in student self-efficacy and potentially stronger learningoutcomes in the graphics course overall.
