Multiview Drawing Worksheets
eGrove Education gives free multiview drawing worksheets, lecture material, and hands-on activities to incorporate into your classroom.
Additionally, the Spatial Vis software has digitized multiview assignments with automatic grading and instantaneous feedback.
Spatial Vis’ Ortho Cubes lesson covers multiview drawing
Lesson 3 in the Spatial Vis software has over 30 digital multiview drawing and orthographic projection assignments.
The assignments start easy and gradually become more difficult as students hone their skills. About halfway through the assignments, once students are comfortable with simpler multiview shapes, hidden line assignments are introduced.
Spatial Vis’ 2D to 3D lesson covers isometric drawing when given an orthographic projection
Students practice going from 2D views to 3D isometric sketches in Lesson 4: 2D to 3D. After students practice going from 3D shapes to orthographic projections, they are then challenged to go in the opposite direction.
They are provided a multiview drawing and they need to create the 3D isometric sketch based on the multiview drawing. In addition to the Spatial Vis software, eGrove Education has free resources for 2D to 3D training, including lecture videos, worksheets, and hands-on activities.
Automatic grading
Spatial Vis provides automatic grading and instantaneous feedback of student sketches!
Students are given an assignment where they need to sketch the solution on their computer or mobile device. They then submit the sketch to be automatically graded.
They are given instantaneous grading feedback. This helps students learn in real-time and saves teachers from individually grading hand sketches.
Teacher interface to monitor student progress
Teachers have access to a Teacher Interface where they can view student enrollments and download student grade reports.
Here they can monitor student persistence and quickly identify which students are struggling with the engineering sketching assignments.
Spatial Vis is gamified to encourage persistence
Spatial Vis is gamified to encourage student persistence. When a student gets a sketch incorrect, they are given grading feedback.
If they are struggling, they can use one of the built-in help features. Because of the gamification students become highly engaged and motivated to get their sketches correct.
The importance of spatial visualization and sketching training
eGrove Education has been doing research on the importance of spatial skills since 2014.
Our recent study showed that up to 60% of incoming engineering students have weak spatial skills and are at risk of dropping out of engineering. After using Spatial Vis, 80% of those students increased their spatial skills to the point that they were out of this at-risk category.
