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.

. However, after Brain Korea 21 Project (1999~2005), at themany research based institutions, the focus of evaluation has become to move fromundergraduate education to research. Most professors in Korean engineering colleges have beenmainly concerned about research productivity, while showing indifference to the quality ofteaching because they were largely evaluated on publications in SCI-rated research journals inorder to be successful in tenure or promotion. If a professor's research performance is competent,students’ poor rating won't be an issue. The faculty evaluation of teaching has not beenconsidered as important as research. Moreover, it used only rating scale of number of lecture andstudents’ course evaluations using quantitative assessment

Students’ Digital Classroom. This foreboding account of how the Internet will impactteachers and more to the point education, postulated that availability and access to materials doesnot correlate into motivation to learn. Considerations for the necessary infrastructure, andtraining to use that infrastructure, plus the overall effect on learning, have yet to be thoroughlyaddressed. Before we commit to this level of dependence, we need exhaustive research toaddress the many concerns with which a cultural shift of this magnitude demands.As learning institutions across the country strive to meet swelling student enrollment, a strongpush toward this unproven pedagogical approach is quickly becoming the norm.
