Preparing Students for Engineering Success through Improving 3-D Spatial SkillsAbstract Three-dimensional spatial skills have been shown to be critical to success invariety of STEM fields. In particular, spatial skills have been linked to success inengineering and in learning to program in computer science. Unfortunately, of allcognitive processes, 3-D spatial skills exhibit some of the most robust genderdifferences, favoring males, which could have serious implications as we attemptto increase gender diversity in our engineering programs. Spatial skills are notusually a part of the formal instruction in the pre-college classroom, meaning thatmany of our students enroll in our engineering programs deficient in these

learningBenford and Lawson (2001) conducted a quantitative study to test the hypotheses: a) teacher’scientific reasoning positively relates to an effective use of inquiry-based learning, and b) aneffective implementation of inquiry-based learning fosters the development of scientificreasoning in students. Both hypotheses were accepted, meaning scientific reasoning works as apredictor of an effective implementation of inquiry-based learning and students improve theirscientific reasoning when effectively using inquiry-based learning.Scientific reasoning and problem solvingAguilar et al.

load of 20 MPa at the right end andsupported by a fixed support on the left. The plate has respectively the modulus of elasticity (E) andPoisson’s ratio (n) of 200 GPa and 0.32. To aid in meshing the part, ten partitions were created onthe model in Abaqus as shown in Figure 1(b). The partitions help in creating a finer mesh aroundthe hole and in the vicinity of the fillet where the stress concentrations occur. The meshed model ofthe part is provided in Figure 1(c) showing the axial stress contour exerted on the plate. A CPS8Rtype element (An 8-node biquadratic plane stress quadrilateral, reduced integration element) wasused in the analysis to produce the displayed results. Various tools in Abaqus allow the users toproduce and display the
