In this regard, one finds that there is a strong and explicit mapping betweenthe criteria’s outcomes and the Professional Skills (3 – Communication, 4 – Ethical Practice, 5 -Teamwork, 7 – Lifelong Learning).

The results of this case study showedthat the application of this mixed methods type of analysis informed by user-centered designof software systems was effective as a surrogate model of student-centered instructionaldesign. Concluding, we extrapolate the lessons learned from this process and the significantimplications we believe our industry-inspired methodology can have for engineeringeducators, in terms of evaluating student engagement in college classrooms. IntroductionIn the last few decades, educators have been looking for ways to increase learning outcomesby keeping students engaged during and outside of class. Popular pedagogical approachesinclude active learning [1], peer instruction [2], student-centered activities [3

However, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) doesn’t specify how many laboratory classes should be inan engineering program, instead offering the guideline that laboratory experiences should be“appropriate to the program” ​[2]​.

Bandura [1] theorized that self-efficacy influence students’ choice of activities, effort, and persistence. Thus, improving students’spatial visualization skills through training may lead to improving students’ spatial abilities as wellas their self-efficacy. The effect on whether an improvement in spatial visualization skills wouldlead to an increase in students’ retention rates in engineering fields has been disputed [32].
