Research conducted since the early 1990’s has proven thatspatial visualization practice and training leads to better grades in engineering graphics and inmost other engineering coursework. Other studies demonstrate that improved 3D visualizationskills improve retention and graduation rates in general and, in particular, the retention andgraduation rates of underrepresented groups in the field of engineering.The

Followingthis, they were assigned a project consisting of the following five basic steps: 1. Identify a product with opportunities for improvement in sustainability. 2. Research product’s current design and manufacture. 3. Analyze sustainability of current design and manufacture. 4. Identify alternative design and manufacturing approaches which may increase product’s sustainability. 5. Communicate proposed solution(s) through written and oral summary reports.Some students at

We believe K-12 engineering education has the chance to properlyeducate pre-college students on what engineers do, as well as, expand students’ understanding ofthe skills that qualify a good engineer. Five of the six participants knew practicing engineers (e.g. parent, grandparent, uncle,cousin). However, they could say very little about what the engineer(s) did at work. For example,when we asked one participant if he knew what his Chemical engineer parents did at work heonly offered a general response: I: Oh I’m sorry Um do you know what your parents do at work as engineers?
