Abstract
A significant and sizeable correlation is established between engineering students’ scores on a spatial visualization test and their scores on an electric circuits concept test with about 25 % of the variation shared between the two tests. Visualization appears to play a very important role in the analysis of electric circuits which requires the mental transformation of pictorial representations of circuits to formal circuit diagrams.
Visualizing Electric Circuits: The Role of Spatial Visualization Skills in Electrical Engineering
A significant and sizeable correlation is established between engineering students’ scores on a spatial visualization test and their scores on an electric circuits concept test with about 25 % of the variation shared between the two tests. Visualization appears to play a very important role in the analysis of electric circuits which requires the mental transformation of pictorial representations of circuits to formal circuit diagrams.
