finished puzzle must depict a clear model of how competencieswork together in an effective professional.Model developers usually develop competency models through a three-step process. First,developers perform a systematic large-scale document analysis in which they gather mainconstructs and performance dimensions of in a professional field. Then, developers gather inputfrom key stakeholders in the profession. These stakeholders include educators and employers toensure that perspectives reflect both professional preparation and career engagement. Theseperspectives are usually gathered via interview, focus group, and/or survey [14]. Finally,competency model developers seek superior performers in a field and, through interview andobservation

Autodesk [17] suggests that a certification helps “prove your skill level and canget you hired” or “accelerate your professional development and help enhance your credibilityand career success.” Siemens [18] asserts, “Solid Edge certification enhances the competitiveedge and reputation of both users and organizations, and provides an industry recognizedcredential that both professionals and students can use to enhance their careers.” DassaultSystèmes [19] claims, “earning a SOLIDWORKS Certification can help you get a job, keep ajob, or possibly move up in your current job” and achieving a certification validates competencyand knowledge of the software.

low spatial skills.Keywords: spatial reasoning, apps, augmented reality, engineering educationI Background Spatial visualization is the ability to mentally represent and manipulate two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) figures. Spatial skills are often used in STEM careers, such asthose in engineering and medicine, and have been positively correlated with increased grade pointaverages and retention in STEM-related fields, including math, engineering, computerprogramming, and science [1, 2]. Spatial visualization skills are learnable [1, 3, 4], but moststudents do not receive formal instruction in K-12 or at the university level. In addition, a particularlack of exposure to spatial visualization skills may explain why women

The second option is a popular technique that tries to minimize the effect ofraw numbers, percentage improvement, however it might have some bias for the low-scorerssince they might show huge percentage of improvement but not indicating that the new score is atop-score.The third option was defined with basis on the ultimate objective of having improvedvisualization skills in order to have higher possibilities of doing a technical career. Therefore, ittries to capture if the Post- score is good enough to become a top-score. This indicator is thedifference between the ‘tier’ were the Post-score is, compared to the ‘tier’ were the Pre-scorewas. Four tiers were defined in this calculation: Tier 1 – score higher than one

to SpatialVisualization (SV) training specifically in the area of providing feedback hints to students whenperforming freehand sketching exercises on touchscreen devices.SV is the ability to visualize and manipulate 2D and 3D shapes in one’s mind. This skill has beentied to success in many careers, yet this skill is undertaught or not typically taught in most K-12and engineering curricula. A seminal study by Sorby [1] showed that SV skills can be taught andcan result in a significant increase in GPAs and graduation rates. 7000 students were tracked forover 15 years showing similar results [2]. The increase in graduation rates is especiallysignificant for women and other underrepresented minorities in STEM [3], who may have hadless experience

, design, and redesign phases of the large group project. By combiningwhiteboarding learning modules in the classroom with a design-build-test project, students wereable to see the utility of freehand sketching on the design-build-test process, particularly forindustry-related projects. This will hopefully allow students to use whiteboards and freehandsketching during design in their first careers, which may in turn improve their projectperformance. Finally, the qualitative analysis of the survey revealed that students believe thewhiteboarding learning modules helped them improve their visualization skills, particularlyduring ideation and brainstorming. This is consistent with prior findings [14], as 3D visualizationskills were improved through
