and URM who passed the test increased dramatically by the end of the semester,closing the gap in spatial ability initially observed at the start of the semester.Students who did not attend the workshop also showed significant increases in their test scores however.This result could indicate that completing the graphics course yields similar improvements in spatial skillsas completing the workshop. The question then arises: what advantage does the workshop provide overthe engineering graphics course itself? If significant improvements in spatial ability can be made after a 4-week workshop session, in comparison to a 14-week graphics course, the workshop could have a positiveoutcome in student self-efficacy and potentially stronger learning
