there may be benefit to sketch trainingfor all students, not just those that enter the class with low SV ability, and that these benefitsextend beyond just increase in SV ability. A conclusive answer to research question 2 and 3 willrequire additional studies to determine if statistically significant benefits can be shown. Finally,the use of the Spatial Vis software allowed for a large number of sketching assignments to beintegrated into an existing course since students received automated feedback and allowed themto work independently. Future research could study at what number of assignments the benefitsof sketch training level off. DisclosureNathan Delson has an equity interest in eGrove Education

Active prototyping is a requirement for the course, with an emphasis on low-fidelityapproaches. We recognize that “prototyping” or modeling is different across various engineeringdisciplines, and thus implementation of specific tools or hands-on approaches is not explicitlyprescribed.
