- Title
Visualization Ability and Student Outcomes in Engineering Design Graphics.

- Abstract
This spatial visualization study, rooted in the body of research that has been performed on an international platform, pairs engineering design graphics students, at the post-secondary level of education, with documented high visual skill and with documented low visual skill. The examination of proficiency in outcome measure as it pertains to these student visual skill abilities was the focus of the study. It was determined that cumulative engineering design graphics course outcome was higher for those students with higher documented visual skill. However, end of course examination outcome provided no significant difference between groups. Rationale for the expansion of further integration of engineering design graphics coursework and implementation of visual skill practices within STEM education globally are among the implications of the study's findings.
