To do this the viewer must visualize each brick in its 3-Darrangement and count it only once despite the fact that the same brick may show up in morethan one view. The new method was used for over nine years with demonstrated success forstudents with a wide variety of visualization skills. It is intended as a tool to help Engineering,Architecture, and Art students and faculty who want to increase their 3-D visualization skills andimprove their attention to detail.IntroductionPreparing students for successful STEM careers requires a variety of math, science, andengineering courses.

thesuccess or failure of many engineering graduates in the workplace is not determined bydifferences in technical competency, but by inadequate professional skills [6]. Engineers whostruggle in their careers often do so because they are unable to effectively communicate withothers, work well in teams, and manage conflict. This problem has been observed by manyprofessionals, including one of the authors while working in industry.Many universities have developed programs in professional skills and engineering leadership,offering for example: certificates, [7, 8], minors [7, 9], or a B.S. in engineering and a M.S. inengineering leadership in five years [10].

Yet, the current manufacturing workforce, relatively lesseducated than other sectors, is slow at catching up with the new development. Meanwhile, fewyoung Americans show interest in choosing manufacturing as their career [2].
