This paper describes the integration of hybrid interfaces in the workflow using three-dimensional models, and presents the results of a preliminary study based on the profile and the student motivation. The study is conducted with first year Building Engineering degree students in order to use mobile technologies, augmented reality (AR) and digital sketching (DS) in different case studies. The resources developed combine traditional methods with interactive visualization of building and civil virtual models using mobile devices to show this type of content with the purpose of enhancing the student’s visualization and their spatial skills and motivation. We have used a mixed method research with quantitative evaluations, and personal qualitative assessment. The conclusions show us a positive student motivation to use this technology and the preliminary results show us an improvement of their academic results.Postprint (published version
