Historically, there has been a flawed assumption thathardware is inherently secure and trustworthy, making it immune to cyber threats [2]. However,experts have increasingly highlighted vulnerabilities in hardware and embedded systems,pointing out significant risks posed by malicious actors exploiting complex and distributedsemiconductor supply chains. Consequently, this misconception has led to a critical

In engineering, particularly in fields like computer-aided design (CAD), the ability to mentally manipulate 3D objects is fundamental [2]. For mechanicalengineers, this skill is indispensable for tasks such as designing intricate mechanical systems, analyzingstress and strain distributions, and understanding the motion of rigid bodies. The capacity to visualizespatially enables engineers to predict the behavior of objects in various environments and to solvecomplex problems involving forces and motion effectively.However, many engineering students struggle to develop strong spatial visualization skills, a challengeattributed to several factors.
