Smith in 1964 [6] identified at least 84 career areas for which spatial skills areimportant. Women, underrepresented minorities, and non-traditional students have been foundto have somewhat lower spatial visualization skills affecting their performance in STEM fieldsbut after specialized training, they showed improvements in their skills [7] – [10]. A study byUttal, et al. [11] published in 2013 found that more than 200 studies on improvement of spatialskills demonstrated that students who receive extensive training and practice on spatially-relevant skills showed increased

Future work will address these questions.IntroductionSpatial-visualization skills (SVS) are known to be critically important to success and retention inSTEM fields. At the same time, these skills are often learned through life experiences such asplaying sports, or playing with certain toys, rather than being taught explicitly in a formal setting[1-4]. Due to this reliance on life experience, the levels of spatial skills displayed by women andunderrepresented groups are typically lower than that of other student populations. Importantlyhowever, spatial skills can be learned and improved with appropriate training.One of the most

Initially, teachers had to adapt to emergency remote teaching and wereoverwhelmed with the additional work required to develop their remote classes [1]. One surveyconducted to evaluate the successes and challenges teachers faced as they moved to virtualinstruction in spring 2020 showed that although teachers transitioned immediately to virtualinstruction, they were not properly trained or given enough time to effectively redesign theirpedagogy. Teachers were inundated with information and resources to help with virtualinstruction and overwhelmed by how quickly they had to transition [2]. Some courses

Researchers involved in science education haveused pre- and post- assessments to measure student learning and validate the need for curriculumrevision [1]. Engineering Graphics has been identified as a field in which the use of a CI couldexpose common misconceptions associated with graphic representation, as well as identify thefundamental concepts that contribute to the generation of those graphics. With varying curriculaacross institutions it can be expected that the implementation of engineering graphics will differ.The development of a standardized instrument to assess the understanding of concepts related toengineering graphics could be beneficial in streamlining or standardizing instruction

, dougong, intelligent system, graphical simulation, virtual realityI. Introduction The dougong is a well-known and unique characteristic of ancient Chinese architecture, theterm referring to the components located at the intersections of pillars comprising the roofsupport system of ancient Chinese buildings. In Chinese, the word “dougong” consists of twoparts, “dou” and “gong,” denoting the two basic elements of the dougong structure. Specifically,the word “dou” denotes the inverted cap for support, and the word “gong” denotes the bow-likeblock for supporting the load. Fig. 1 shows these two components in a 3-D model of a typicaldougong structure made in Autodesk 3DS MAX. In the structure of ancient buildings, dougongare constructed on

Yet, there arefundamental concepts in visualization and definitions of views that should always be taught inthe beginning of CAD instruction. For example, in learning about two-dimensional sketching, astudent should understand how the application presents its 3-D space, origin, and coordinatesystems.Further, mobile computing platforms are dominating the higher learning institution market, atleast in the U.S, with price-points decreasing and sufficient hardware becoming ubiquitousacross the top vendors.

To determine the efficacy of this approach, the following researchquestions were posed: 1) is it feasible to use individual whiteboards to teach freehand sketchingin a large undergraduate CAD course? 2) do students and instructors find this approachacceptable? 3) do students find that the use of whiteboards during class improves their ability tosketch? The acceptability and effectiveness of the approach was tested using pre- and post-student surveys.

At this time, the software is not able tooffer substantial and specific feedback to the students on how to improve, and it is recommendedto use the computational grading tools in conjunction with human graders.

Theobjective of the App is to teach spatial visualization and freehand sketching skills, which havebeen show to increase retention in STEM majors, especially among under-represented andwomen students. A unique aspect of this App compared to other eLearning tools is that thesketching assignments are not multiple-choice, and thus require students to synthesize theircomplete solution. As a result, data that tracks how engaged students are at different stages of anassignment can be collected. The App was integrated into a 1-unit Spatial

manipulating geometry (spatial ability) is a fundamental skill thatdeserves careful attention when designing courses of study in engineering and technologyeducation. Numerous research studies have correlated high performance in spatial skills testswith high grades in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines atuniversity level. In a longitudinal study conducted by Wai et al. [1] it was found that thelikelihood of earning an advanced degree in STEM is directly related to spatial ability1.

Bloom’s Taxonomy isa framework that maps the depth of learning to specific tasks or activities. Levels “describe thecognitive processes by which thinkers encounter and work with knowledge.”1 Activities such as“create” have the most depth of learning/knowledge because they require knowledge acquiredthrough lower levels: remember, understand, apply, evaluate.
