“…Several studies investigating freehand sketching have been carried out on its ability to improve spatial visualization skills. Quasi-experimental outcome from (Srinivasan, Smith, & Bairaktarova, 2016) demonstrated how using freehand sketching as routine practise improve spatial visualization competencies in a supportive learning environment. Additionally, no significance difference between male and female student in sketching performance, enabling technical sketching skill to learn across gender and age if given appropriate instruction.…”

Numerous studies in the last two decades have attempted to explain the significant relationship between effects of freehand sketching especially in the initial phase of idea generation in engineering design process approach. However, freehand sketches are not favoured by novice designer while generating design task. This paper aim to map how sketching skills benefit STEMenriched learning environment and enabling visually communicated ideas to craft novelty solutions. This systematic review analysed nine papers that use sketch as design tool in STEM enriched engineering design activities. The literature is retrieved from established online database such as SCOPUS and EBSCOHOST. Sketch significantly proves as powerful tool in prompting visual ideas, reflect prior knowledge, aid communication and collaborative practise and engage active learning. The infancy of research using matured student sample, different ethnic and social economic background will create interesting research opportunities in multiracial nation.

“…Several engineering programs working with one of such training programs, the ENGAGE Engineering Project (Veurink et al, 2009) have offered courses in spatial visualization. These courses have been shown to positively impact participant spatial skills and retention in engineering programs (Boersma, Hamlin, & Sorby, 2004;Srivasavan, Smith, & Bairaktarova, 2016;Veurink & Sorby, 2011). Studies also show that problem solving strategies play a role in performance in spatial ability tasks.…”

This Complete Research Paper describes a research study aimed at understanding strategies engineering students use in solving spatially-related problems. The participants in our study are first year engineering (FYE) students in an Introduction to Spatial Visualization course at a Southeastern university. This course is recommended for FYE students who score below the required threshold on the Purdue Rotation Visualization Test (PSVT:R) on entry into the engineering program, to help them improve their spatial visualization skills. Seventeen students enrolled in the course in Fall 2018 participated in this qualitative study.Spatial abilities are important in many scientific fields including engineering. People can develop their spatial abilities through practice and training. This possibility highlights the usefulness of strategies that can be used for solving spatial tasks. There are several spatial ability measures including paper cutting tests, mental rotation tests, cross section tests and mental cutting tests. The current study examines strategies that students used while performing spatial tasks that require the use of mental cutting and rotation techniques.In this qualitative study, we are interested in students' descriptions of the use of strategies on mental cutting and rotation tests. Data was collected via interviews, involving a think-aloud protocol. The analysis of interview data was guided by a-priori codes from our coding rubric developed in a previous study. The findings from this study provide further understanding on the kinds of strategies students use in tackling spatial tasks. Importantly, the study findings provide confirmation for the codes in our rubric and suggest that some of these strategies are relevant across tests and could be used more broadly.
