using an automated system to grade AutoCAD files that focusedon 2D drawings [7]. In this method, students email homework solutions to a dedicated emailaddress. The automated system then reads the emails and evaluates the 2D drawing(s) submitted.The advantage of this system is that students could receive quick feedback, although the gradingmethod’s generalization to 3D CAD is not apparent.Ingale et al. developed a tool in Matlab which would evaluate section views submitted as picturefiles by the students. Their tool had the advantage of being CAD software independent since itonly used image files and image recognition techniques. However, the submitted picture fileshad no dimensions shown, and the tool could not process other common views like

Based on the Pre-Test results, all students who scored lower than 60% will berequired to take a spatial visualization course. After the training course, all those students whofailed the Pre-Test have passed the Post-Test. It is recommended that even earlier detection andremediation would be more helpful. Testing incoming engineering students and offeringintervention before they arrive on campus and begin their foundational first year course wouldfurther increase student success.8.

Research conducted since the early 1990’s has proven thatspatial visualization practice and training leads to better grades in engineering graphics and inmost other engineering coursework. Other studies demonstrate that improved 3D visualizationskills improve retention and graduation rates in general and, in particular, the retention andgraduation rates of underrepresented groups in the field of engineering.The

This is supported in some of the comments extracted fromstudents’ reflective diaries:“My strengths are the lab 1’s, I enjoy these and have no issues as I work through theworkbook.

The primary research question was: What are the learningpreferences for college students taking a fundamental engineering design graphics courses? As afollow-up question to the primary question the investigators explored: Do students taking acollege engineering design course and categorized as “at-risk” have different learningpreferences than students categorized as “not at-risk?” The primary research question wasinvestigated and analyzed through frequency-based ordinal data pertaining to student learnerpreference(s).

On the other hand, students gained substantially simply by taking the class, so the benefitsof the app on its own are not clear.Another direction for further research should focus on additional development of the app.Possibilities include adaptive presentation of lessons based on student progress, further use ofgamification to enhance motivation and engagement, and building assessment into the app itself.References[1] S.

Experiential Learning: A Handbook of Best Practice for Educators andTrainers: This type of learning occurs when students participate in some activity, reflect upon the activity, use their analytical skills to derive some useful insight from the experience, and then incorporate their new understanding(s) into their daily lives. What experiential learning does best is capture the interest and involvement of the participants, but most importantly it contributes significantly to the transfer of learning.Instructional InterventionTo implement EL learning in a degree program, faculty need to be made aware of theexperiential criteria so they can design an appropriate and effective EL course. Faculty at ourinstitution gain
