Snowden, Ariel W.; Warren, Christopher M.; Goodridge, Wade H.; Fang, Ning – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2021
The current study examined the neural correlates of spatial rotation in eight engineering undergraduates. Mastering engineering graphics requires students to mentally visualize in 3D and mentally rotate parts when developing 2D drawings. Students' spatial rotation skills play a significant role in learning and mastering engineering graphics.…

Manfredi, Louise Rosanna – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2020
In spring 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic forced universities across the globe to move all teaching from in person to online. This pivot led to instructors needing to support students who became dispersed all over the world with little time to prepare. Whilst online teaching is not a new concept, there is relatively little literature…

Bairaktarova, Diana; Williams, Daron; Katsioloudis, Petros J. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
For the last decade, remedial spatial visualization training has been offered to first-year engineering students in traditional classroom settings where students attend class and interact face-to-face with an instructor and peers. An alternative to the traditional pedagogical approach is a multi-modal blended learning format that combines in-class…

Williams, Thomas O., Jr.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Kelly, Daniel P.; Clark, Aaron C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
The Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (PSVT: R) is a widely used assessment of spatial ability. In this report, the factor structure of the PSVT: R test items was examined through confirmatory factor analysis with data from 541 engineering design graphics students. Stata 15 and Mplus 8.2 statistical software were used…

Kelly, Daniel P.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Clark, Aaron C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
Part of a more extensive National Science Foundation-funded study, this study presents the findings and analysis of the effect on three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy (3DSE) by the inclusion of online active learning modules (ALM). Using multiple datasets, we found that the use of ALM in an introductory engineering graphics course, closed a…

Devine, Kevin; Chang, Yi-hsiang Isaac; Klitzing, Gunnar – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
Recent developments in Virtual Reality (VR) technology has prompted the manufacturing industry and software vendors to investigate VR's potential for process enhancement. In this paper, we present a study to investigate whether using VR could reduce an individual's cognitive workload during the process of programming an industrial robot. The…

Bartholomew, S. R.; Connolly, P. E. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2018
The authors are investigating potential applications of adaptive comparative judgment (ACJ) across numerous environments and learning scenarios within the Purdue Polytechnic Institute as part of Purdue's efforts to transform the undergraduate learning experience. Six courses or program areas were selected for the study, involving a wide variation…

Ernst, Jeremy V.; Willams, Thomas O.; Clark, Aaron C.; Kelly, Daniel P. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2017
The Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (PVST:R) is among the most commonly used measurement instruments to assess spatial ability among engineering students. Previous analysis that explores the factor structure of the PSVT:R indicates a single-factor measure of the instrument. With this as a basis, this research seeks to…

Bairaktarova, Diana – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2017
The ability to graphically depict objects in two- and three-dimensional space is fundamental to engineering design practice. Historically, engineers have used pencil, paper, and erasers to draft preliminary sketches and to transform initial drafts into precise production drawings. With the proliferation of computer-aided design (CAD) software…

Webster, Rustin; Dues, Joseph; Ottway, Rudy – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2017
Students who successfully pass professional certification exams while in school are often targeted first by industry for internships and entry level positions. Over the last decade, leading industry suppliers of computer-aided design (CAD) software have developed and launched certification exams for many of their product offerings. Some have also…

Torrens, George Edward; Badni, Kevin; Hurn, Karl; Storer, Ian James – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2015
The manipulation of colour, form and texture within a commercial design activity is a core competency for an industrial designer. The job of the Industrial designer is to use colour, form, texture, temperature and movement to deliver a sensory experience that evokes a desired response. The core deliverables of an industrial designer are embedded…

Katsioloudis, Petros J.; Jovanovic, Vukica – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2014
A quasi experimental study was done to determine significant positive effects among three different types of visual models and to identify whether any individual type or combination contributed towards a positive increase of spatial visualization ability for students in engineering technology courses. In particular, the study compared the use of…

Flanders, Megan; Kavanagh, Richard C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2013
Mental rotations are among the most difficult of all spatial tasks to perform, and even those with high levels of spatial ability can struggle to visualize the result of compound rotations. This pilot study investigates the use of the virtual reality-based Rotation Tool, created using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) together with…

Branoff, T. J.; Dobelis, M. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2012
Spatial abilities have been used as a predictor of success in several engineering and technology disciplines (Strong & Smith, 2001). In engineering graphics courses, scores on spatial tests have also been used to predict success (Adanez & Velasco, 2002; Leopold, Gorska, & Sorby, 2001). Other studies have shown that some type of…

Richardson, Jeffrey J.; Adamo-Villani, Nicoletta – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2010
Laboratory instruction is a major component of the engineering and technology undergraduate curricula. Traditional laboratory instruction is hampered by several factors including limited access to resources by students and high laboratory maintenance cost. A photorealistic 3D computer-simulated laboratory for undergraduate instruction in…
