%). The gender difference in video game play was statisticallysignificant.On the background questionnaire administered along with the PSVT:R during fall 2009,three questions were included related to video game playing. These questions and theirresponse choices are included below. For each question, response choices were a) manyhours per week , b) once or twice per week , c) once or twice per month , d) once or twiceper year, or e) never .Instructions: For each activity listed below, fill-in the appropriate bubble on the Scantronsheet that indicates the most amount of time that you spent on that activity during anygiven year in your life. 6. Played computer or video games (such as action, adventure, racing, or sports games) 20

many industries and across manyapplications such as scientific visualization, product development, and interactive entertainment.The goal of this research was to examine the potential impact of augmented reality technologyon the successful completion of a standardized visualization test instrument. Participants in thestudy were students enrolled in an introductory engineering design graphics course at aMidwestern university. Two test groups were organized from the students in the class, onecontrol and one treatment. The control group completed the standard Vandenberg MentalRotations Test, with static images displayed on computer workstation monitors. The participantsreceived 90 seconds to answer each question on the test. The treatment group

with recommendations for further refinement of instructional strategies will be presented.Keywords: hybrid instruction, blended instruction, online assessments.INTRODUCTIONEvaluation of online learning in engineering education has pointed to the increased popularity ofonline course offerings in engineering fields, but has also noted the particular challenges ofproviding online instruction for curriculum that has a large laboratory component1. However,newer, web-based tools have provided flexible options for componentized delivery ofengineering course resources in the media and format that best suits learning outcomes andstudent acceptance2,3, including the delivery of material that was historically provided in a labsetting.
