pastexperience, observation, persuasion, and emotion. A link exists between self-efficacy, academic achievement, andthe ability to overcome phobias. Experiences like successes and failures, specific feedback, and scaffolded learningexperiences may increase or decrease self-efficacy in a particular skill set, which can change outcome expectations,motivation, and future goals [11].Spatial visualization has been defined in many different ways. This work utilizes Bodner and Guay’s [12] definitionof “spatial orientation factor as a measure of the ability to remain unconfused by changes in the orientation of visualstimuli,” and states, “The spatial visualization factor measures the ability to mentally restructure or manipulate thecomponents of the visual

sketching fundamentals inperspective to engineering students that was developed at Texas A&M University [6-11]. Thesystem has been deployed at three universities for 4 years in undergraduate and graduatemechanical engineering and design graphics courses. It has also been used by undergraduateinstructors outside of engineering. Students receive real-time feedback on their speed, precisionand smoothness and also an additional tip to help them improve. SketchTivity has repeatedlyimproved the sketching self-efficacy of students along with sketching skill development. Asurvey instrument that measures the self-efficacy of students was developed and validated as partof the project that helped us [12].A few years ago, an instructor who used

communication ofdesign information through technical sketching and computer-aided design (CAD)constraint-based solid modeling. Such an engaging course intends to enhance students’spatial visualization, modeling ability, and self-efficacy in applying related tools in thefuture. This sample consists of students who each enrolled in one semester from a totalof three semesters of participating students exposed to components of student-centeredlearning between the Spring of 2018 and Spring of 2019. The course consists of up to60 students per section. The data for this study comes from an NSF IUSE study measuring student self-efficacy in 3D modeling and academic success, including course grades and spatialvisualization skills [5]. The sample size is
