It may be that through the course oftheir first year, they found their writing and speaking abilities were on the same level as theirfellow engineering freshmen.Table 7: Comparisons of confidence in preparation at end of first year by quartiles based onPSVT:R score. p’s reported inside table are statistical significance of difference between aresponse and the response from the group that scored 21 and below on the PSVT:R.

tend tobe lower than their non-minority peers, especially so at HBCUs. Previous studies found thatstudents enrolled in introductory engineering graphics courses at Virginia State University, anHBCU, had lower than average test scores on the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test:Visualization of Rotations (PSVT) when it was administered during the first week of class.Because of the positive correlation between visualization ability and academic success in STEMcourses, changes were made to the engineering graphics courses to add a variety of visualizationenhancing activities including the use of sketching, blocks and multimedia. The result of theseactivities was improvement of the students’ visualization abilities and it was hypothesized thatthis
