“…Using a semi-structured interview, Garmendia et al (2007) interviewed 12 first-year engineering students to learn about the difficulties they experience in visualization and drawing tasks. "The engineer must have the skills to read and write the language of the drawing.…”

“…Este hecho favorece que, durante sus estudios universitarios, estos alumnos tengan serias dificultades con las asignaturas vinculadas con el dibujo o con temas relacionados con la visión espacial y, por ello, las asignaturas relacionadas con el área de Expresión Gráfica sean de las últimas que aprueban. De hecho parece estar aceptado que, de manera general, superar la asignatura Dibujo Técnico en una titulación de ingeniería presenta una mayor dificultad al alumnado que otras materias de la titulación (Garmendia et al, 2007;Hernández et al, 2008). En relación a esto, la visualización espacial -definida como la habilidad para gestionar mentalmente formas complejas-es otro aspecto que presenta serias dificultades al enfrentarse a esta asignatura (Garmendia et al, 2007), a pesar de la importancia que, según estudios previos (Hsi et al, 1997), tiene la capacidad de visión especial en la futura vida profesional de un ingeniero o arquitecto.…”

“…Fox (2005) on the other hand, in a general manner, points out the importance of graphics in the discourses of engineering. Garmendia et al (2007) also refer to visual communication in engineering from the perspective of engineering pedagogy when they point out difficulties students have in using visual communication for solving engineering problems. They discuss an assignment where students were required to construct a whole diagram correctly from its individual pieces.…”
