Improving spatial skills is therefore of both theoretical and practicalimportance2.” While BLV people can be successful in STEM related careers, they aresignificantly underrepresented in the field. Thus, it is valuable to improve the spatial skills ofthese individuals to support them in future STEM related aspirations. To assess and improvespatial ability, it is important to determine how to measure spatial ability in the BLV population,and how an instrument can aid in the development of curricular interventions that enhance theexisting spatial ability skills of BLV students.Spatial ability has also been shown to be a malleable characteristic, and can improve throughdirect intervention.

part of electrical and computer engineeringexpands, it is necessary for us to explore how curriculum design should be addressed. If we areto prepare students for a career in modern industry, it is imperative that we reconsider the skill-set that an undergraduate needs to succeed.19 Virtually none of our undergraduates go intosingle-topic specialties with their undergraduate degrees; they are members of multi-disciplinarydesign teams and are frequently in leadership-track positions in which they must considertechnological problems with concerns for the complex relationships across topics - theboundaries are fuzzier than ever.At the University of Virginia we are addressing this with a new breadth-first curriculum thatplaces a strong emphasis on

He has leveraged this interest into over $10M in teaching-related grant funding over his career and has contributed broadly to the literature in areas of curriculum, student risk characterization, and mentoring. He believes well trained, curious, thoughtful people are crucial to a university’s research effort, and similarly to the function and survival of society. For this reason, the overarching goal of his teaching is to impart the core content needed by the students, and to do so while encouraging inquisition and higher

To promote confidence in student support services, the program’s department chair, the South Campus engineering program coordinator, and the faculty of the engineering program all maintain open-door policies. Additionally, staff and faculty meet with 5 students regularly—collectively and one-on-one—to discuss career goals and ensure necessary course sequences. This is especially important for students who may be the first in their families to attend college.

The researchers thought it would be helpful to include an analysis of the syllabusused in the class and how much time was dedicated to each topic to see if there was anycorrelation to how the students were defining the practice of engineering.BackgroundThe career of engineering has long carried the reputation as a field of people that are good atmath and science 2. However, now it is recognized as a distinct and separate discipline with itsown components of thinking and execution 3. This research
