Page 26.938.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Incorporating Active Learning of Complex Shapes in STEM CoursesAbstractA major obstacle students encounter in many STEM subjects is visualization of complex three-dimensional shapes, such as the p-v-T surface in thermodynamics. Conventional means ofcontent delivery, such as textbooks and projector screens, are passive in nature and areineffective in many situations. Alternatives such as immersive visualization technology are oftencostly and require specialized laboratory, creating a disconnect between lecture and spatiallearning. An exploratory method is introduced whereby learners can achieve meaningful

of Mind Mapping proponents who say that:“this concept will improve learning and enhance performance.”IntroductionThe Mind Map is an expression of “Radiant Thinking” and is therefore, a natural function of thehuman mind. It is claimed to be “a powerful graphic technique, which provides a universal keyto unlocking the potential of the brain” [1, 2, 3]. According to Tony Busan who originated theconcept of Mind Maps in the late 1960’s: “A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique, whichprovides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain.
