Activities that require spatial ability includenavigation, mental rotation, and perception of objects. In this paper we define spatial ability as aquantification of a measurement of spatial thinking.Students who have high spatial ability have demonstrated higher levels of success in academiacompared to their peers, especially in areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) [3]–[5]. A longitudinal study that tracked students with high spatial performance alsofound that spatial ability has implications for professionals working in STEM fields [6

ABET, formerly known asthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, has changed their accreditation criteriain the late 90s from focusing on what is taught in the classroom to what the student would be ableto do after taking a particular course (Prados et al., 2005). It is the goal of educators to producedeep learners who will be able not only to grasp what is taught in the classroom, but also connectit to real world problems. Therefore, based on exploration of students’ conceptions of learning,approaches to learning, motivation and their experiences of the teaching-learning environment,educators can devise pedagogical tools that guarantee some level of deep learning. In addition,educators need to create successive contexts

Most community colleges are open-accessinstitutions, with students coming from all different walks of life to enroll in these schools [1].These include students directly out of high-school, or those that are returning to school for asecond career. When looking that the demographics of community colleges, we find that theyserve a disproportionate number of students who are marginalized [2].
