professor, it was painfully obvious to me that students lackedfree hand drawing skills and that these skills are needed for improving theirvisualization and spatial orientation. Approximately ten years ago, I was tired ofhearing “we can’t do this” from my students, and I figured the primary reason thatthey lacked these skills was simply that no one had ever shown them basicdrawing procedures. Since then, I have attempted to do this and have seendramatic results that followed when sketching is taught just fifteen minutes or soweekly during the course of a semester. Initially, the goal of this effort was simplyto provide students with a skill to help them understand their ideas and presentthem to others

experience the fastest relative growthamong all modes of transportation, especially due to many fold increase in demand inmajor developing nations of Asia and Africa. Figure 1 shows the current market outlookfor airplane demand by 2025 and Figure 2 shows various categories of 27,200 airplanesthat would be needed by 2025. The total value of new airplanes is estimated at $2.6trillion. As a result of three fold increase in air travel by 2025, it is estimated that the totalCO2 emission due to commercial aviation may reach between 1.2 billion tonnes to 1.5billion tonnes annually by 2025 from its current level of 670 million tonnes. The amountof nitrogen oxides around airports, generated by aircraft engines, may rise from 2.5million tonnes in 2000 to 6.1
