Hsing, Hsiang-Wen; Bairaktarova, Diana; Lau, Nathan – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Spatial problem-solving is an essential skill for success in many engineering disciplines; thus, understanding the cognitive processes involved could help inform the design of training interventions for students trying to improve this skill. Prior research has yet to investigate the differences in cognitive processes between spatial…

Duffy, Gavin; Sorby, Sheryl; Bowe, Brian – Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Background: Spatial ability is significantly related to performance in engineering education, and problem-solving, an activity that is highly relevant to engineering education, has been linked to spatial ability. Purpose/Hypothesis: This study investigated the following question--To what extent is spatial ability related to problem-solving among…
