version of the PSVT:R administeredto first-year engineering students at a mid-sized, public university in the United States. We usean exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to determine the number of latent variables being measuredby the instrument in our data. We determine the number of latent variables to be one, with goodreliability, which is consistent with the paper-based instrument. In future work, we plan to use aconfirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to show evidence of validity of the computer-based PSVT:R.Introduction It is well-established in literature that spatial skills are strongly correlated with academicsuccess in STEM. In particular mental rotation (MR) has been shown to correlate with coursegrades and retention in engineers [1

skills [2]. Technical knowledge is the most crucialcharacteristic for a competent civil and construction engineer, followed by decision-makingskills, knowledge of teamwork, planning and scheduling abilities, and leadership skills [3].According to research, the most commonly identified competency categories for constructionmanagers are technical knowledge, leadership skills, effective communication, management andorganization, planning abilities, teamwork, and a strong sense of determination [2]. Thesecompetencies are critical for ensuring successful construction projects delivery. However,despite ongoing criticism, engineering programs in undergraduate studies continue to prioritizetechnical skills over non-technical skills, resulting in

manufacture. Theproject work attempts to bridge the gap between the virtual skill set and understandingengineering requirements while at the same time making the class more engaging and fun.Desired Learning OutcomesWith the ability to have students work in the Baxter Innovation Lab, the CLC EngineeringGraphics lesson plans were re-evaluated with the following desired learning outcomes in mind: • Analyze the engineering functions of existing products. • Create functional description of the design intent, including design objectives and constraints. • Display competency and safe practices using essential shop equipment • Apply sketching, 3D solid modeling, and CAD drawing skills to convey design ideas effectively

moreaccurately assess whether the online sketching questions are indeed measuring what we intendthem to measure.As noted previously, the first five weeks of the semester in EGT 120 are devoted solely to handsketching, before introducing CAD work, and the sketching activities continue throughout thesemester. Considerable time is spent in class providing formative and summative feedback withthese conventional sketching practices. Because of the importance of sketching in developingvisualization abilities, even with the success of the format change on exams, there are no plans toreplace current lecture and lab sketching activities with items and exercises similar to those beingused on exams.References[1] N.L.

with most things of a complex nature there are many problems that we maynot foresee. In doing our best to avoid these issues, diligent planning and research-basedsolutions will be utilized to provide students with an environment that is conducive tocollaborative learning. While the development of 3-D modeling skills and spatial ability areintegral to this project it is important to keep in mind that at the heart of the ABLE project is thedevelopment of a collaborative learning experience that can potentially help us addresschallenges we face as a global community.Figure 1Community Water TankFigure 2Automated Milk Line REFERENCESAllen, D.
