Linn andPeterson10 describe that spatial ability consists of mental rotation, spatial perception, and spatialvisualization. This ability is known as a critical skill in many fields of study, including science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.11 Spatial ability becomesincreasingly important with the advance of new computer graphics technology

Students that areable to successfully complete an engineering degree from an accredited engineering programpossess the content knowledge to teach STEM subjects at the K-12 level and can help to removethe misconceptions in the minds of K-12 students about what engineers actually do.
