to SpatialVisualization (SV) training specifically in the area of providing feedback hints to students whenperforming freehand sketching exercises on touchscreen devices.SV is the ability to visualize and manipulate 2D and 3D shapes in one’s mind. This skill has beentied to success in many careers, yet this skill is undertaught or not typically taught in most K-12and engineering curricula. A seminal study by Sorby [1] showed that SV skills can be taught andcan result in a significant increase in GPAs and graduation rates. 7000 students were tracked forover 15 years showing similar results [2]. The increase in graduation rates is especiallysignificant for women and other underrepresented minorities in STEM [3], who may have hadless experience

. In addition, research has shown the role of graphics education in developingwell-balanced human citizens [5, 6].Spatial visualization (SV) skill is an essential quality for being able to communicate graphically.Spatial visualization skill can be defined as the ability to mentally understand, visualize, rotateand manipulate geometric objects [1, 7-9]. Literature shows that keen SV skills is an indicator ofachievement in STEM fields [10]. These skills have been demonstrated as a key factor for thesuccess in 84 careers [11]. In addition, a 2010 report on the role of women in STEM fieldsidentifies that SV skills are important for the success of women students in STEM related fields[12]. The report also states that women and underrepresented

This will hopefully allow students to use whiteboards and freehandsketching during design in their first careers, which may in turn improve their projectperformance. Finally, the qualitative analysis of the survey revealed that students believe thewhiteboarding learning modules helped them improve their visualization skills, particularlyduring ideation and brainstorming.
