For many students,they set the ground for the first experience with course materials and with fellow engineeringstudents [2].

Students who have low spatial ability are more likely to drop out of engineering. It is well-established that women are disproportionally affected with lower spatial ability [3-8]. However,spatial skills can be improved significantly with focused practice [9]. Sorby’s “DevelopingSpatial Thinking” curriculum is one of the most widely used for spatial skills courses [10].For these reasons, we
