According to[6], these abilities are also essential for the development of spatial reasoning, which promotescreativity and problem-solving in technical domains.Because spatial ability supports vital abilities like creativity, problem-solving, and visualization,and due to its correlation with success in STEM (science, technology, engineering andmathematics) majors and fields [7] spatial ability is seen to be a fundamental component ofsuccess in STEM education. High spatial ability has been linked to improved scholasticachievement in STEM fields, such as mathematics, physics, and engineering [7], [8].

Family is part of a student’s community in engineeringA person’s community in engineering often defines how successful they will be in their career,or how many challenges they will be able to easily overcome. When we asked students abouttheir community in engineering, four out of five mentioned that their family is part of theircommunity. Family members were “motivational” or supportive by providing words ofaffirmation especially when students were facing challenges. For example, Rogelio, discusseshow his mom is motivational, and also how his school counselor was pivotal in helping him toovercome challenges.
