In this field of graphics and design, which is more linked to STEM education, there are testsuch as the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test – Rotations1 (PSVT:R), the Mental Cutting Test10(MCT), and Shepard-Metzler Rotation9 (S-M) Test and its modification12. The underlyingconcept in these tests is the mental rotation of 3D objects. PSVT:R is perhaps one of the mostcommonly used test, and after its initial development in 1977, there have been reports aboutimprovements and expansion of tests for spatial visualization and spatial orientation.

Thermodynamics I looks at the primary laws of thermodynamics and some additionalconservation equations along with the application of these when analyzing various processes andcycles. Although the zeroth law is critical in measuring temperature, it is only given a trivialamount of coverage due to its simplicity and the fact that it is not actually used in the analysis ofthermodynamic systems.

, Retaining and Graduating More Women in Computer Science and Math Abstract We report on the CS/M Scholars Program which is supported by an NSF S-STEM grant that began in 2011. The program aims to increase the number of women graduating with degrees in Computer Science or Mathematics. It is well known that women are under- represented in these fields nationally and this is also the case at our university. Our efforts include targeted recruitment of female high school students with a record of academic achievement and leadership potential. In addition to providing scholarships, student success is bolstered by required first-year seminars, early advising, and monthly events focused on professional
