for a particularapplication. Students are given the following project statement to accomplish the laboratory.Project StatementA common failure mode of electronics is overheating. Generally, this is caused by the lack ofadequate cooling and improper layout of components. One effective and common method ofcooling electronic devices is the use of heat sinks. A heat sink is a device to promote the heattransfer from one medium to another using extended surfaces. Heat from the electronics isabsorbed and transmitted to the heat sink fins, which are cooled by natural or forced convection.The performance of heat sinks is often presented as a plot of thermal resistance of the heat sinksversus a variable airflow. From this information, engineers are

The majority of the 3-Dvisualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphics classes presentthe objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multiple views, foldpatterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Other exercises present the objects in incompletemulti-view projections and ask the students to add missing lines. The newly proposed methoduses a different approach.

with higher spatial ability (79% of graduating engineering students) maintain a highlevel of spatial ability and graduate with only a slightly higher overall GPA than theircounterparts with low spatial ability.Given past work in this area [1,3,9], it would appear that either the curriculum at Stevens is notas reliant on spatial skills in order to be successful, or that students are able to work around anydeficiencies in these skills that they might experience. As the design courses at Stevens, an arenawhere students are most likely to need greater levels of SVS, are almost exclusively basedaround teamwork and group projects, students with lower levels of spatial ability may be aidedby their group for example.As discussed in previous work
