Thisarrangement benefited both industry and the university. Industry had help gearing up for themicroelectronics revolution and were in touch with the very people they needed to inform abouttheir personnel needs in the next year, five years and longer. The university professors on theother hand had the opportunity to experience what was going on in an emerging field, what wasneeded for the future, a future that would

Cutting Test When Sampling Engineering Statics Students’ Spatial AbilityIntroductionSpatial ability is broadly defined as a cognitive ability to mentally create, manipulate, and retainspatial information [1], [2]. More specifically, spatial ability can be defined by a number ofconstructs including common constructs such as mental rotation, visuospatial memory, cross-sectional visualization, and navigation. [3], [4]. Applications of spatial ability are wide rangingand the number of constructs has not been formally agreed upon [5]. In this work, we refer tospatial ability as a quantification of performance on one or more specific constructs of spatialthinking assessed through a spatial ability test.

In many cases, engineering students approach discussionsaround their career interest as a generalized interest in helping people, society or to improve theworld, with expertise in math and science as the resource they draw from. Some know thesubject they want to address, such as improving the environment through renewable energy.Some just know they want to help people live a better life through technology.

After analyzing the tool and itstechnical specifications, we understood that the goat wrench consisted of the useless boltthreading function. The functions appeared to be selected arbitrarily without proper reasons.According to feedback provided by the manufacturer, the tool was too expensive and heavy.
