institutional research. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Analyzing Three Competency Models of Advanced ManufacturingAbstractIn this research paper, we present a study in which we analyzed and compared three competencymodels of manufacturing to assess how well the models visually communicate advancedmanufacturing (AM) competencies. Advanced manufacturing covers new industrial processesthat improve upon traditional methods in quality, speed, and cost. In addition, the dynamic natureof technology and innovation has made it difficult to find a unified illustration of key advancedmanufacturing skills. However, three visual models of manufacturing illustrate variousstakeholders’ perceptions of the field

through a follow-up study that had been used in previous years to collect data oncurrent trends and issues related to the field. This paper will discuss the overarching issues andtrends currently in technical/engineering education and one significant area within the surveythat dealt directly with new instructional strategies for graphics education (i.e. distanceeducation). One section of the survey explored distance education in technical/engineeringgraphics education; as prior research suggested that changes had occurred in the instructionaltopics and practices of the field. Previous research also shows that instructors wondered if thesame topics were being taught and the same technology was being used by graphicsprofessionals as a part of their

Yue 18 analysed the spatial abilities across a number of educational levels includingthird level students of engineering and technology subjects at Essex Count College, NJ. Itwas found that first and second semester college freshman students recorded mean PSVTscores of 65% and 69%. College sophomores (2nd year students) were also analysed andrecorded a mean score of 79%. It should be noted that all these mean scores were recorded indifferent subject modules relating to engineering and technology. Taking the scores recordedby Yue 18 into account it can be inferred that the ITTE students in this study in generalpossess relatively strong spatial abilities.Performance in Graphical Analytical Element of the

Smith in 1964 [6] identified at least 84 career areas for which spatial skills areimportant. Women, underrepresented minorities, and non-traditional students have been foundto have somewhat lower spatial visualization skills affecting their performance in STEM fieldsbut after specialized training, they showed improvements in their skills [7] – [10]. A study byUttal, et al.
