in which we live[10]. As engineering education includes more ill-structured, real-world problems, efforts to helpengineering students think more critically also need to grow and diversify [12]. The introductionof art education methodologies in engineering education may offer a potential solution towardsthese efforts.In a sense, different types of sketching can act as a form of framing and re-framing a problem.Sketching can be called a physical form of multiple perspectives, one in which the same object isviewed from different sides to represent the overall object. Consequently, sketching remains acrucial part of the design process, for it acts as a form of collaborative communication as well asa way to highlight issues that can be difficult
