This workshop introduces students to some of the technicalaspects of engineering drawings and develops SV skills, which have been shown to help withperformance in STEM.Engineering Habits of Mind: The activities presented in this workshop are representative ofCreativity, Optimism, and Communication. Sketching is an integral part of the brainstormingand creative process. Optimism is increased when students are able to visualize design solutionsand draw how they will look. We all know that “a picture is worth 1000 words,” and thussketching is integral to technical communication.Engineering practices based on NGSS Framework: Engineering, technology and theapplication of science is
