Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive literature overview related to visualization skills development methods, theories related to cognitive development, and use of graphics in learning and teaching engineering drawing subject. In addition, the skills of visualization components and test instruments for testing these skills are also discussed. The description in this chapter begins with an overview of the curriculum in the context of engineering drawings for Higher Education Institutions. Further understanding of visualization skills in engineering, especially elaborated earlier by some scholars and researchers in the science of visual, spatial, and cognitive psychology, are also discussed in this chapter.
