four weeks ofsketching and eleven weeks of three-dimensional, constraint-based, solid modeling. In2002, the course was revised using the “backward design” approach [2] with formativeand summative assessments in lecture and lab activities. In later years project-based andlearning-centered instructional approaches with creative ideation and sketching [3] wereintroduced. Such approaches follow a natural cycle of Kolb’s learning model [4], whichincludes abstract conceptualization, active experimentation / application, concreteexperience, and reflective observation. Our university has recently launched a campus-wide academic initiative aimed at preparing undergraduate students in all engineeringmajors to use their disciplinary knowledge and skills

various stakeholders’ views of the field’s nature and competencies it requires?2) To what extent do these models reflect Tufte’s principles of effective visual communication?Literature ReviewStakeholders who create competency models choose a means of visual communication overtextual communication. In this section, we will discuss possible reasons for and benefits of thesechoices define and explore visual communication,Visual CommunicationVisual communication models are derived from basic linear communication models posed byAristotle (speaker, message, listener) and Lasswell [4] as shown in Figure 1.Figure 1. Basic communication model [5]Lasswell’s linear model reads as “Who says what in which channel to whom with what effect?”This basic model

with those observed for situation where an intervention has beenimplemented: there is an overall improvement of scores, with some specific factors (questions)being more influential than others. Particularly, single factors were identified for two of themeasurement of improvement used: Raw and Tier, but multiple factors are needed for apredictive model using Percentage as improvement indicator. It is of interest as well that the one-factor models identify question that belong to the same subset, questions that require rotationabout at least two axes in order to have a correct answer. Thus reflecting the importance of suchexercises for spatial visualization skills.In terms of demographic parameters, the results indicate that they do not have a

item is graded as correct or incorrect with nopartial credit given. The TAs digitally fill out the rubric for each student and create a PDF of thecompleted rubric and return it to the students via the course management system gradebook. Keyattributes of this system of grading are 1) the grader can quickly fill out the rubric without havingto reflect on the requirements of the assignment, 2) subjectivity is limited by having standardgrading items to evaluate, 3) feedback is returned to the student electronically, making it moreaccessible and ensuring the feedback cannot be lost, and 4) an electronic record of errors iscollected for assessment purposes. The following questions still lingered: Do the graderscorrectly fill out the rubrics? Do all

provides the essential immersive experiencehas become more affordable [11]. Nevertheless, a review of literature revealed only a few casesof VR-based STEM learning being reported [12]. Different from the game-based learningstrategy [13], [14], learning in immersive VR environments must properly reflect the physicallaws or spatial constraints governing our surrounding in order to imitate the real worldexperience. A typical example is the building activity in the video game Fortnite [15]. While theplayer has to collect material before actual construction can happen, the structures created wereso simplified that they could not exist in the physical world. Video games such as Fortnite do notrequire an immersive environment, as the focus of the games

design-build-test process,particularly during ideation, brainstorming, and design/redesign. Upon completion of the project,students then “raced” each other to determine whether their prototype functioned as appropriate,and wrote a final report that reflected upon their design and redesign process. An example photoof students racing their wheelchair lever arm drivers is presented in Figure 1 below, along withthe students’ resulting assembly design.Figure 1: (left) Image of students testing their prototype on “race day”, (right) resulting assembly model of a student team’s prototype design.Learning Outcomes Measured:Students were provided with individual lap-sized whiteboards (12” x 18”) and markers at thebeginning of
