communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation. Assistive technologies replaced theubiquitous computer and paper visual interfaces. The course was intended to enable the studentto develop basic mental imagery capability in engineering graphics. These capabilities provideda foundation for engineering thinking for the student and

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. [11] published in 2013 found that more than 200 studies on improvement of spatialskills demonstrated that students who receive extensive training and practice on spatially-relevant skills showed increased

Several initiatives to improve theseskills have been implemented at various academic institutions. This study aims to apply dataanalytics (DA) to generate a predictive model for improvement of scores in a commonly usedspatial visualization test. This model is based on pre- and post- scores by first-year engineeringstudents, and the objective is to identify the

One of the most well-known of these innovations is virtual reality(VR), which involves the recreation of a process or setting in a strictly virtual environment,without physical props or interaction. This enables learners to explore an environment incomplete safety, and immerse themselves into settings that would otherwise be inaccessibleor too complex to recreate in physical form. This is especially important in the various fieldsof engineering, which would otherwise entail exposure to hazardous

During the initialmove to remote instruction, these courses were challenged with providing access to high-endequipment or computing resources requiring high-speed internet, and they no longer couldbenefit from in-person, close-up demonstrations of proper technique or the opportunity forteachers to ascertain students’ proficiency of the material in real time [4]. There were concernsthat some students might not be receiving quality instruction in these courses, which wouldnegatively
