During the Spring 2013 semester a study was conducted in a junior-level constraint-based solid modeling course at North Carolina State University to verify the results of a similar study conducted in the Fall of 2012 in the same course. Students were administered the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) and the Mental Cutting Test (MCT) and then were asked to model the parts from information given in an assembly drawing. Relationships were examined between the PSVT:R, MCT, modeling test, final project, and final exam. This paper will present the results of this study.
