visualization skills was developed by Sorby1 and has beenshown to increase GPA and graduation rates in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) fields. Improving spatial visualization skills has been identified as a priority forincreasing the percentage of women in STEM fields2, as well as other under-representedminorities. These priorities have led to the desire to increase the ease of teaching and learningspatial visualization. One approach is electronic learning, eLearning, which encompasses a widerange of computer use in education.The spatial visualization courses that have been shown to be effective utilize a combination ofmultiple-choice questions and freehand sketching assignments1. Multiple-choice questions canbe easily integrated into

The surveyresults in the next section show students’ responses regarding this conclusion. Researchconfirmed that 3-D computer models in a solid modeling environment do not developspatial visualization skills as well as hand sketch [4].Perimeter College (GSU-PC), which consolidated with Georgia State University (GSU)in fall 2016, is one of the largest feeder schools for the Georgia Institute of Technology,Kennesaw State University and Georgia Southern University.

analytics can be used in some academic activities,one of them being prediction of performance or behavior, which relates to the field of spatialvisualization skills. There is a variety of tests that have been applied to measure spatialvisualization skills of students, and there are numerous studies that have collected and analyzedinformation regarding demographics, spatial visualization skills, and academic performance [3 -5]. Of interest is the study where spatial visualization skills is something that has been linked toabilities to do engineering and technology work; subsequent studies have provided a relationshipbetween the spatial visualization skills of students and their performance in engineering courses,particularly for engineering graphics

It can be introduced tostudents earlier and used as a tool throughout the design curriculum.As technology continues to move forward, the tools given to engineering students must alsochange to adapt to the engineering environment outside of academics. The expectation forstudents to be proficient in sophisticated design and graphics technologies requires that machinevision and computerized animation software be embraced as key elements in undergraduateengineering design curriculum.Bibliography1.

supported this development by introducing an easy way tovirtually visualize objects in three dimensions. As a result, industry and engineeringprograms have embraced this technology, and now learning an industry-typical CADsoftware package typically represents the backbone of the first design course. Theflipside of this development is that the learning curve for modern parametric solidmodeling software is steep, and requires explicit instruction on the use of the software.Thus typical first-year Engineering Design Graphics courses typically focus on teaching aspecific CAD software package, and do not specifically address the development ofstudents SV skills and self-regulation, which are direct indicators of student academicsuccess and persistence

Recent feedbackindicates the changes also better meet the expectations of some of our industrial partners whohire Behrend students as interns to do CAD work. The cost for students who remain enrolled intheir engineering majors breaks down to less than $20 per course because LMS access is alsorequired in upper level courses that have a CAD component, not solely EGT 120/121.During the pilot semester and the following semesters of full implementation, there were fewproblems with

As more faculty look for alternatives to traditional teaching methods they have stronglyadvocated active learning 5-10.
