Engineering Education, 2018 International Experience of Engineering Technology Students Learning About Renewable EnergyCultural exposure is said to be an enhancement to collegial learning. With this in mind, students inan engineering technology program were given the opportunity to go to Germany to a regionaluniversity, experience education in that setting, and visit sites dedicated to renewable energy. Thestudents were given a two-week experience that taught them through both formal and informalmeans. Ultimately, students experienced curiosity, openness to different cultural norms, and wereable to identify components of other cultural perspectives responding with their own worldviews.The researchers utilized

to render abstract concepts in graphical representations and extractcorrect spatial information from the structures’ drawings. Spatial ability is defined as theprocesses of constructing, maintaining, and manipulating three-dimensional (3D) objects inone’s mind [1, 2, 3] and considered to have multiple subfactors [4, 5] such as spatialvisualization, spatial orientation, and speed rotation [6]. Research studies that discussed theroles of spatial ability in engineering education have primarily focused on the spatialvisualization, which is the main factor of spatial ability [7]. Some widely used spatialvisualization tests in engineering education [8, 9, 10] include the Purdue Spatial VisualizationTest: Rotations (PSVT: R) [11], the Vandenberg
