First-Year Engineering StudentsAbstractThe impact of spatial visualization skills on retention and performance in undergraduateengineering schools has been studied extensively. The National Science Foundation funded afive-year program called “Engaging Students in Engineering” or ENGAGE. One strategy inENGAGE is to improve students’ spatial visualization skills. With this goal in mind, we havedeveloped an optional one-credit hour non-graded spatial visualization skills intervention courseat The Ohio State University which is offered to incoming first-year engineering students basedon their performance on the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotations (PSVT:R). All enteringengineering students have taken this

students’ approaches to generating, maintaining and communicating visual-mental imagesThe ability to synthesise and manipulate graphical information is a core cognitive aptitude.Visual-mental images are crucial to problem solving and design processes. The ability tomanipulate and communicate perceptual and conceptual information graphically often leadsto creative discovery and aids mental synthesis. Graphical education in Ireland supports thedevelopment of these ‘concept driven competencies’ through the study of plane anddescriptive geometry and through engagement with design problems 1.Previous research by Delahunty et al. 2 has highlighted a worrying issue of mechanisticconditioning within graphical education in Ireland.

instructionalactivities involving students in doing and thinking about what they are doing 9.” Often peopleassume that learning involves a hands-on component, but that is not a necessity. Hands-onlearning, however, can be active and involve thinking that goes way beyond mere manipulationof objects.The relative effectiveness of hands-on instruction is a topic much discussed in a variety ofdisciplines. Engineers, in particular, question whether or not students benefit from tactilelearning experiences and whether or not these experiences need to involve physically handlingobjects or whether digital techniques have the same impact. To clarify, digital learningtechniques refer to the use of technology and virtual infrastructure to communicate concepts andactivities

Classroom observationssuggest that students who feel comfortable and confident about their ability to graphicallycommunicate and to critically reflect on their work are more willing to engage in furtherchallenges and more likely succeed in their goals. The statement made in the Grinter Report(1955) that graphical expression is both a form of communication and a means for analysis andsynthesis. The extent to which it is successful for these purposes is a measure of its professionalusefulness. Its value as a skill alone does not justify its inclusion in a curriculum. The

By providing a 3D model to which this information is attached, it helps in visualizing the geometry that is impacted by the relationships that exist between dimensions, tolerances and datums.2. It helps to clarify interpretations that are difficult to see from 2D views on a drawing. One example of this is shown in Figure 2.

When the pandemic hit,classes with computer aided design (CAD) instruction had two challenges to overcome as peopletransitioned to remote or online learning. One challenge was that the remote nature of theinstruction made it difficult for teachers to provide feedback to students as quickly as they did ina classroom setting thereby maintaining student engagement. The second challenge was the lackof student access to computers or technology necessary to run the CAD packages.

Literature shows that keen SV skills is an indicator ofachievement in STEM fields [10]. These skills have been demonstrated as a key factor for thesuccess in 84 careers [11]. In addition, a 2010 report on the role of women in STEM fieldsidentifies that SV skills are important for the success of women students in STEM related fields[12].
