administered to first-year students who were enrolled in the College ofTechnology at Purdue University. It did not capture information from students who wereaccepted and chose not to attend. Capturing data from that population could be helpful indetermining how to increase the yield of students who are accepted and choose not to attend.Bibliography 1) Kaplan A., Haenlein, M. (2010).

The modeling approachesin question are parametric NURBS1 (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface modeling andpolygonal freeform modeling. The former refers to the creation of organic geometry using 2Dsketches and building standalone faces between sketches fig1, the latter refers to taking anexisting geometric shape and

programs and engineering design activities. Has thischange in emphasis come at the expense of students being able to correctly read complexengineering drawings?During the Spring 2011 semester, a pilot study was conducted in a junior-level constraint-basedmodeling course where twenty-nine students were asked to model as many of the seven partsgiven in an assembly drawing of a device within a 110 minute class period 4. The main purposeof this pilot study was to determine the procedures necessary for this type of assessment in aclassroom setting. The parts in the assembly ranged in complexity from a ball to a valve body.Students were given a ruler to measure parts on the B-size drawing and determine sizes offeatures based on the given scale (2:1

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. Further enhancements to the
