Summary
Spatial skills are usually considered to be important for success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). However, the way these skills are currently taught does not always connect with real-world engineering work. Currently, many spatial skills training materials use simple blocks or cubes which are much easier to work with than the complex objects that engineers will encounter on the job. A typical spatial problem might ask a student to rotate a cube shape in their mind. But a civil engineer might need to envision a complex building or a three-dimensional landscape. Research sh
