. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Sketchtivity, an Intelligent Sketch Tutoring Software: Broadening Applications and ImpactMotivation and BackgroundSketching is an essential skill for engineers. Engineering students develop problem representationand problem-solving skills in part through sketching[1, 2]. Communication with fellow engineersand designers depends on the ability to share ideas through sketching [3]. Sketching is importantfor problem formulation as designers create representations of a problem for problem scoping andcommunication [4]. Idea fluency and idea generation as measures of design creativity aresupported through sketching [5, 6]. Sketching is also an effective approach for
