Spatial skills are linkedto professional and academic success [3], [4]. For example, when designing or constructing apumping station or piping systems within a treatment plant, it is always challenging to develop athree-dimensional mental picture of the space when looking at plan view and section views of aspace. Those who are skilled in developing that clear mental picture make fewer mistakes andare more efficient designers or constructors. Spatial training has been shown to have a strongimpact on developing these visual-spatial skills as measured by success on standardized

This course introduces project management skills via a curriculumemploying project-based learning. These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are

This is due, in large part, tothe challenges inherent to making “reflection from within” a regular part of the teaching practice.For some, self-reflection is the first method to be abandoned when planning, instruction, andassessment tasks demand increasing time and effort to move the course forward.

However, this research did not address actual implementation of thecurricula. Mathis et al.18 explored students’ use of EBR during solution generation of anengineering design challenge in a seventh-grade classroom.

Iremembered how I felt in the office of my former advisor, and I remember what I wished wouldhave happened when I was under similar circumstances. I could have just nodded sagely, a lookof disappointment but understanding in my eye, and wished the student well in their academicendeavors, saying it was for the best. But I did not. Instead, I asked the student how they plannedon meeting their goals. What was their study plan? How did they study for exams or classregularly? How do they know how much time to put aside for studying? What I learned was thatthis student did not have a clear plan to meet
