The University of Cincinnati Sponsored Research Services Division received a two-year, $299,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (formerly the Education and Human Resources program, CFDA 47.076) to examine the link between spatial and communication skills among engineering students. The Division will investigate relationships between engineering majors' spatial thinking abilities and their technical communication skills, including gesture use. Approximately 150 second-semester engineering students will complete spatial cognition and verbal analogy tests, and 75 students will be selected for additional testing involving measures of semantic fluency, phonemic fluency, and tasks requiring students to describe previous engineering design projects in written and oral formats. Insights gained from the research aim to inform engineering curriculum and help strengthen students' technical communication proficiencies. The award was issued on June 15, 2023 and work is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2025.
