After a carefulreview of the favorite hobbies listed by each of the student participants, the majority of thesewere visual in nature, consisting of two-dimensional (i.e. games) and three-dimensional (i.e.baseball, soccer) environments. Overall, most of the student participants indicated they felt thecontent covered in the course would be useful in their future job or career. This is a notablefinding, since the course is listed as a visual and performing arts elective on the generaleducation course lists for all majors at NC State University. Likewise, about 20

great potential to lower the cost of evaluation and training. First, the automaticgrading feature can provide immediate feedback to the student, and the instructor can moreeasily manage multiple exercises to a wide range of students to make the training process moreefficient. A more efficient evaluation process enables the early assessment of visuospatial skills,which facilitate the identification of students with potentially inadequate visuospatial skills(Yoon, 2008). Early intervention can then be introduced to train their visuospatial skills, suchthat they will not become a barrier for them to pursue their career in engineering. Moreover,early assessments can provide information to better customize the course flowcharts for students.For

Responses to the survey and examquestions on dimensioning were compared. This paper will discuss the findings from theseanalyses.BackgroundMost engineers will create a drawing at some point in their career. For the object to be created,the material, structure and size need to be documented. Traditionally, students have learned howto do this in a “drawing” course. In these courses, students learn how to construct a multi-viewdrawing, a schematic or a diagram to illustrate the components of their design. Additionally, theyadd notes and dimensions to describe

The students then report their findings to their classmates in the form of a finalteam project presentation. Less formally, the hope was that students who had this deeperunderstanding of the benefits of spatial skills instruction would then become ambassadors toother students, encouraging them to take the class to better prepare them for
