McCord, Kieren H.; Ayer, Steven K.; Perry, Logan A.; Patil, Karan R.; London, Jeremi S.; Khoury, Vanessa; Wu, Wei – Education Sciences, 2022
In civil and construction engineering education research, a focus has been on using 3D models to support students' design comprehension. Despite this trend, the predominant mode of design communication in the industry relies on 2D plans and specifications, which typically supersede other modes of communication. Rather than focusing on the…

Jihyun Rho; Martina A. Rau; Barry Van Veen – Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Background: Visual representations are pervasive in electrical engineering instruction in various instructional settings. Further, electrical engineering instruction often requires students to extend simple visual representations to learn about more complex visualization in subsequent instruction. Yet, students often struggle to understand…

Michael C. Melville; Chad Hershock; B. Reeja-Jayan – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
Due to limited laboratory facilities and other constraints, many engineering students may not have the opportunity to engage with practical, hands-on learning experiences. Although some research suggests that game-based learning can provide students with these pedagogical benefits, much of that work does not directly assess the impact of such…

Panchami Patel; Prachi Thareja – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This article describes two sets of experiments designed to enhance the understanding of colloidal systems. These experiments were designed as a part of the theme "Colloids: Where Science Meets Engineering" taught in the Department of Chemical Engineering and additionally offered to physics, chemistry, and materials science departments as…

Amy Young; Les Dawes; Bouchra Senadji – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Engineering identity has been repeatedly linked to the retention and success of engineering students, however, the current methods for understanding identity may not capture the holistic engineering identity journey. This study reviewed the method of utilising journey maps as a new approach to capture student engineering identity experiences.…

Ajay Shankar Tiwari; Kaushal Kumar Bhagat – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
This study examined the impact of augmented reality (AR) on engineering education, focusing on spatial visualisation skills and cognitive load in an engineering drawing course. The research is based on cognitive load theory and spatial visualisation frameworks. It compares three AR methods--marker-based (MBAR), markerless (MLAR) and Web-based…

Dart, Sarah; Lim, James B. P. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
Engineering educators naturally gravitate toward visual means for communicating concepts that would otherwise be extremely difficult to convey using words and numbers alone. With the emergence of three-dimensional (3D) printing as an accessible and cost-effective technology, it is now possible to develop customized models that enable students to…

Tomás Hyland; Niall Seery; Jeffrey Buckley – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
An association between spatial ability, particularly visualisation, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has been repeatedly demonstrated over the past four decades. Understanding this relationship is of critical importance as substantial evidence illustrates the malleability of spatial ability and that the…

Noelia Olmedo-Torre; Marta Peña; Miguel Soriano; Anna Pujol-Ferran – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2025
This research aims to increase our understanding about the effects of active learning, applying problem-based learning (PBL) methodologies to increase student motivation in various graphic engineering classes. The measurement instruments included a cross-sectional survey (n = 269) carried out during the years 2015 to 2019 through triangulation of…

Martín Erro, Alfonso; Nuere Menéndez-Pidal, Silvia; Díaz-Obregón Cruzado, Raúl; Acitores Suz, Adela – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2022
Visual literacy is essential for engineers. Technological professions have important visual characterization, both in the transmission of information and problem-solving. This means that future engineers must be proficient at communicating, thinking, and learning visually. However, engineering curricula takes partially the need to have visually…

Ranscombe, Charlie; Zhang, Wendy; Eisenbart, Boris; Kuys, Blair – Design and Technology Education, 2021
An ever-increasing array of design visualisation tools are available to designers. As such, design education is constantly challenged to keep up with these trends so that students are best equipped for entering industrial practice. This paper reports a study into the use of digital sketching, a relatively new digital visualisation tool. The study…

Javier Rodriguez-Falces – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
A central topic in Bioelectricity is the generation of the extracellular potential that results from the propagation of a transmembrane action potential along the muscle fiber. However, the way in which the extracellular potential is determined by the propagating action potential is difficult to describe, conceptualize, and visualize. Moreover,…

Coleman, Philip; Hosein, Anesa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Laboratory tasks often focus on mechanical procedures leaving limited time and opportunities for students to build conceptual knowledge. We investigate to what extent introducing simulation tasks to preparation work can enable students to build their conceptual knowledge. We surveyed two cohorts of students taking an electronics module. Laboratory…

Kok, Petrus Jacobus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This research focused on first-year university students' visuospatial cognition in terms of producing three-dimensional (3D) representations of objects from two-dimensional (2D) views. The research was important since students often had difficulty with 2D to 3D transition activities. A synthesis from the literature established a 2D to 3D…
