摘要

Two hundred eighty-three engineering students were given a mental rotation test at the beginning and end of their first-year engineering course, and again several years later, to assess the relationship between spatial visualization skill and retention in engineering. No relationship was found between mental rotation task scores and retention in engineering, or with any engineering major, or was a relationship found between retention and improvement in spatial visualization skills during the first-year course. However, results indicated that the first-year engineering course in design and graphics was able to reduce the gender gap in the mental rotation scores to negligible levels. Thus, the two results suggest that the gender gap in spatial visualization skills for this population is remedial and, in any case, has no effect on retention in engineering.
