Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics” identified spatial visualization as an important skill in STEM courses, and citedstatistics that women and other URM groups have, on average, lower spatial visualization skillsprior to any formal training [5]. The clear need for improved and more broadly available spatialvisualization education and training has led to the development of college-level spatialvisualization courses [4, 6]. Evidence suggests that such courses do have a positive effect on both spatial visualizationskills and retention in STEM majors

It is any course-related activity in which all students participate rather than simply watcha lecture and/or take notes in a class session1. Participation results in student engagement, anessential component of effective teaching practices in classrooms, which in turn results in higherlevels of thinking2.

Withdrawal of students from materials classes due to loss of value and interest in classWhen classroom and student issues better articulated, it is possible to better align the three major HPLprinciples with improved class pedagogy, instructional materials, classroom management, andassessment tools. As such, the course materials have been redesigned because of improved instructorpedagogical content knowledge that can foster more effective teaching and learning. Relatively limitedchanges in course and classroom protocol, pedagogy, activities and assessments can result in enhancedmotivation and achievement which are characteristic of more effective learning4.

In this study, students were giventhe option to use LectureTools, an interactive suite of tools designed specifically for largerclasses. The availability of these tools dramatically changed the mechanics of the course as over90% of students attending lecture voluntarily brought their laptops to class.

order to“communicate effectively.” For others, good communication is defined by thedepartment writing manual and can be assessed by counting up the number ofgrammatical errors in a document. Unfortunately, these two definitions lead students intomisapprehensions regarding what constitutes effective engineering communication, howthey should develop those skills, and how their skills will be assessed. My issue here isthe current state of communication skills development and evaluation that have beeninspired by ABET EC 2000. While the national effort to improve students’ skills (both incommunication and the other objectives areas) are laudable, many engineering programsencounter difficulties with assessment plan development, particularly after

. These projects were of medium complexity, and assigned only twice during the semester, thus limiting their effect on the development of SV skills. Thus the combined number of specific interventions that aimed at improving SV skills over the traditionally imparted course was limited to four (two manipulatives and two geometric design projects), which may be insufficient. 2- The assessment method of the changes in SV skills is inadequate. The assessment instrument, the PSVT:R, has a long history of validation and thus can be deemed to provide an adequate measure of SV skills. In addition, the collected scores align well with results reported by other researchers. However, there are two
