Inherently, those courses require superior visualization skills.Visualization is an essential tool for the design, and the creation and/or the interpretationof drawings. As visualization is also a developed skill, students often become frustratedby their inability to readily visualize objects presented in architectural engineering Page 8.1013.1drawings.
