Exploring the Role of Spatial Skill in Electrical Circuits Problem Solving
Delahunty, Thomas; Pérez, Lance C.; Rivera-Reyes, Presentacion
Engineering Design Graphics Journal, v82 n2 p31-35 Spr 2018
Spatial skills have a known beneficiary role in STEM students' academic success. This paper explores data relating to the role of spatial skills in electrical engineering problem solving which is a relatively under researched area. Data indicate a significant association between electrical engineering problem solving and spatial skills and a discussion around their potential causal role concludes the paper.
