Theinteractive media provided students with the opportunity to gain fundamentalunderstanding of orthographic projection, rotation about one or more axes, reflection andsymmetry. Pro/Engineer was utilized to create solid models and project them at differentangles, enabling students to realize various mental visualizations. Preliminary assessmentof the class indicated that combining the interactive media and the solid modelingsoftware was effective in the development of spatial skills in undergraduate engineeringand technology students. The assessment also

In addition, the results help provide guidance as to when itis or is not appropriate to differing combinations of these three mediums.IntroductionEngineering education has been witness to an ever-evolving array of technologies used tocommunicate science and engineering concepts. While many of these communicationtechnologies have changed over the years, others have remained relatively constant (e.g.,the textbook) and—even
