givenapproximately three assignments throughout the semester that required them to sketchorthographic projections and isometric views of objects. These assignments were designed tohelp improve spatial visualization ability. However, the class was generally focused on 3Dmodeling skills and SolidWorks operation, and not on spatial visualization ability.A survey was also administered to assess self-efficacy and to ask the students about how helpfulthey found the different learning activities in the course. We measured self-efficacy regarding 3Dgraphics topics using the three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy scale described by Densenand Kelly [21]. We will refer to this scale as the 3DM-SES in this paper. Agreement on eachitem of the nine items of this survey

, including student scoreon the pretest three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy (3DSE) assessment, gender, age, andwhether or not the student had a parent with professional engineering backgrounds. The three-dimensional self-efficacy instrument consisted of nine questions, each being a 7-point Likerttype item, designed to measure students’ self-efficacy related to modeling three-dimensionalobjects [11]. Logistic regression could not identify for which subgroups of students the variableswere most significant. For these reasons, machine learning analytics software was used toexamine the predictors, and their interactions, that led to persistence in engineering degreeprograms.

canbetter devise pedagogical strategies targeted at improving self-efficacy and retention of femalestudents.The objective of this study is to determine if women do in fact put more effort into anintroductory engineering graphics class, and to determine if this extra effort can compensate fortheir lower average spatial visualization ability, resulting in equal course outcomes such as examand homework grades. We hypothesize that: 1) female students put more effort (measured asquiz scores, time spent on homework, attendance, and homework scores) into engineeringgraphics courses; and 2) that this greater effort by female students results in roughly equalaverage course and exam grades for men and women.

Other studies have found that student motivation is directly linked to seeing valueand meeting goals and beliefs about the importance of a given task or subject.The value of motivation can be conceptualized through various approaches (e.g., learning vs.performance goals, intrinsic vs. extrinsic orientation, and interests); this motivational componenteffectively concerns students' motives for the completion of a task7. Self-efficacy has a majorrole in student motivation at both intrinsic and extrinsic levels. Students’ perceived self-efficacyinfluences as the

Could a student’s confidence (and therefore theirspatial skills) influence their success and their career choices?Studies have shown the impact of confidence or self-efficacy on student success. For example,Lent et al. (1984)7 found that students reporting high self-efficacy (confidence in their ability to Page 22.1314.2successfully complete various scientific and engineering degrees) achieved higher grades andpersisted longer in scientific and technical programs than those that reported low self-efficacy.Additionally, Towle et al
