Peer reviewedBraukmann, James; Pedras, Melvin J. – Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, 1993
A control group of 17 engineering students produced 2- and 3-dimensional shapes with manual drafting tools; an experimental group of 12 used computer-assisted drafting. From pre/posttest data, it appeared that computer models were no better at improving spatial visualization or orthographic projection skills. (SK)
