项目摘要
This project will spatial ability as an essential skill in Science, Technology, Engineering Education. A strong correlation exists between spatial ability and achievement in the undergraduate study of engineering, chemistry, biology, and physics. In particular, the ability to correctly visualize three dimensional objects when they are represented in two dimensions by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or in a part drawing, is a vital spatial skill for current mechanical engineering, civil technology, and civil engineering students. Research has shown that the spatial ability of STEM students will improve through training, for example during a semester long course that uses 3D computer modeling software and paper and pencil activities and also that students preferred working simultaneously with real physical objects whendeveloping these skills. Furthermore, spatial ability training over the course of a semester has lead to improved retention in engineering and technical fields. However, optimal training methods are unknown. For instance, shorter training, taking significantly less time than an entire semester, may produce similar results, and the integration of an actual physical model with commonly used CAD software programs may produce further advances in spatial ability. Additionally, there is a critical need to identify students who are at-risk due to poorly developed spatial skills and who should thus be targeted for enhanced training. In the proposed research, a computer integrated Physical Model Rotator (PMR) device will be designed and implemented for use in spatial ability assessment and training. The PMR device will rotate a real object in synchronous motion with a virtual model of the same object on the computer screen. This simple device will assist the user in bridging the perceptual gap between the 3D object and its 2D representation on thecomputer screen. Device construction will be followed by a study to assess its effectiveness and to develop optimal training methodology. The study will include bachelor degree mechanical engineering and civil engineering students from the University of New Hampshire and associate degree civil technology students from the Thompson School of Applied Science. Standard spatial ability tests and selfconcept and self-efficacy questionnaires will be used for evaluation before and after PMR training. The spatial ability improvements attained may particularly affect the retention of women, who are underrepresented in engineering fields. Web-based assessment tools will be developed which will be used to identify at-risk students who will then be targeted for enhanced training to improve their spatial ability. This project may affect both the quality, through improved achievement, and quantity, through increased retention, of engineering students by improving spatial ability skills.
本项目将空间能力作为科学、技术、工程教育中的一项基本技能。 在工程、化学、生物和物理的本科学习中,空间能力和成绩之间存在很强的相关性。特别是,当三维物体通过计算机辅助设计(CAD)软件或零件图以二维表示时,正确可视化三维物体的能力是当前机械工程,土木技术和土木工程学生的重要空间技能。研究表明,STEM学生的空间能力将通过培训得到提高,例如在一个学期的课程中使用3D计算机建模软件和纸笔活动,并且学生在发展这些技能时更喜欢与真实的物理对象同时工作。此外,在一个学期的课程空间能力的培训,导致提高保留在工程和技术领域。 然而,最佳的训练方法是未知的。例如,较短的培训,花费比整个学期少得多的时间,可能会产生类似的结果,而实际物理模型与常用CAD软件程序的集成可能会进一步提高空间能力。此外,还迫切需要确定哪些学生由于空间技能发展不佳而处于危险之中,因此应将其作为加强培训的目标。 在本研究中,将设计并实现一种计算机集成的物理模型旋转器(PMR)设备,用于空间能力评估和训练。PMR设备将使真实的物体与计算机屏幕上同一物体的虚拟模型同步旋转。这个简单的设备将帮助用户在计算机屏幕上的3D对象和其2D表示之间的感知差距。器械构建后将进行研究,以评估其有效性并制定最佳培训方法。这项研究将包括学士学位的机械工程和土木工程的学生从新罕布什尔州大学和副学士学位的土木技术的学生从汤普森应用科学学院。标准空间能力测试和自我概念和自我效能问卷将用于PMR培训前后的评估。空间能力的提高可能特别影响到妇女的留用,因为妇女在工程领域的代表性不足。将开发基于网络的评估工具,用于确定有风险的学生,然后针对这些学生进行强化培训,以提高他们的空间能力。这个项目可能会影响质量,通过提高成绩,和数量,通过增加保留,通过提高空间能力技能的工程专业学生。
