Old:There have been studies with the assessment scores of the 3-D Spatial Visualization Tests and they confirmed prior findings of a positive relationship between this spatial test and success in engineering drawing and descriptive geometry courses as well as positive relation between the test and graduation from an engineering college. New: Old: There was an unreliable indication of a difference in level of spatial visualization ability required to succeed in the four branches of engineering offered by The Cooper Union(mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical) Old: In my couple of years as an engineering student, I’ve developed a different way to look at certain situations. Old: I have looked at the 3-D Spatial Visualization Tests and they test you ability to rotate a item a certain way and know what the new view on that same item will be. Old: It is a little hard to explain, but especially in classes such as vector calculus and electricity and magneti...
As a Mechanical Engineer, I will see many types of visuals in the field. For example: Checklist: When developing a new creation at a company, a instruction manual with a list of required materials will be needed. Also, when operating huge machinery, there will be a safety checklist required to be read before each use. Tables: Tables are very useful in my field. With Mechanical Engineering, I might be task with finding the cheapest material that will accomplish the task. In order to find those materials, there are hundreds of books with tables of each material and it's properties. Photograph: This previous semester I took a class called "Fluid Mechanics" and there were these photographs of "vortex shedding" when can't really be described in words. Line Graph: Also last semester, I took a class called "Component Design" and in that class we looked at how many numbers of cycles can an object take a load before failure. When talking about the E...
I created my final project in PowerPoint and I couldn't find how to attach it onto a blog post so I sent it to you email. A trouble I did have on this project was trying to condense a ton of information into 10 slides and not have the slides be overwhelming just from shear word number. I did want to say thank you for being a respectable and knowledgeable teacher. We aren't given writing classes as a Mechanical Engineering student and this really did boosted my confidence with writing technical documents. Hope you have a great rest of the summer.
