demonstrations, andsketching examples as well as online assessments. Sections met in the classroom once each weekwhere instructors discussed and demonstrated essential CAD and textbook content. This timewas also used to answer student questions and give feedback on homework and CAD exercises.Outside of class, students were expected to view the online content, complete CAD andsketching exercises, and complete a weekly online assessment. No difference was found betweenfinal exam scores in the hybrid sections and the face-to-face sections. This paper discusses theimplementation of the hybrid introductory engineering graphics course, summarizes datacollected during the Fall 2007 semester pilot study, and offers some discussions about therelative advantages

for increasedstudent success. The enhanced methodology includes three steps. The first is Pre-Test: thePSVT-R test to assess students’ spatial visualization skills created by Purdue University, apartner school in the ENGAGE project, was given to all engineering and science freshmanstudents at Kettering University. The second step is Remediation: based on the results, allstudents who scored lower than 60% were required to take a spatial visualization course whichwas developed as one of the deliverables in the NSF-ENGAGE grant. The third step is Post-Test:by testing students’ spatial visualization skills after the spatial visualization training, all thestudents who participated the training passed the post test.

The students’ response to this teaching method wasoutstanding, and the score of the Students’ Opinion of Instructors’ Survey (SOIS) for this coursewas the highest at the university level.IntroductionComputer Aided Design has become an integral part of any construction project. Traditionalpaper blueprints are quickly becoming too primitive to meet the needs of the current buildingindustry. Architects now share CAD drawings to expedite the design development and reviewcycles in order to increase construction productivity. In addition, researchers suggest that usingCAD increases the students’ creativity and problem solving [3].Familiarity with the development and exchange of CAD drawings is now a necessary skill inmost engineering fields in
