Spatial Visualization Ability and Impact of Drafting Models: A Quasi Experimental Study
Katsioloudis, Petros J.; Jovanovic, Vukica
Engineering Design Graphics Journal, v78 n2 p1-11 Spr 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 different visual models--a 3D printed solid object, a 3D computer generated drawing and a 2D drawing.
