Some of these studies also examined whetherstudents’ modeling ability was related to their spatial visualization ability 4, 5, 7. There werepositive correlations between the PSVT:R and the modeling test (not all were significant) andsignificant positive correlations between the MCT and the modeling test. Recommendationsincluded repeating the study using a shorter modeling activity, examining a more efficient wayof evaluating the models, and using qualitative methods for evaluating modeling strategies.Research QuestionsThe current study was designed to conduct a preliminary investigation into using an

Cech and Sherick, for example, have written persuasivelyabout how a stubbornly entrenched “ideology of depoliticization” has powerfully inflected theform and content of engineering education, namely by demarcating the technical dimensions ofengineering from any associated political, social, or cultural considerations.2 This ideologicalboundary-work projects a sanitized and idealized image of engineering as ultimately divorceablefrom anything deemed subjective, sociocultural, or humanistic – that is, anything “non-technical.” The idea of “social/technical
