Technology Application in Enhancing Visualization Skills in Learning Engineering Drawing: A Systematic Review

Abstract

In today's dynamic engineering landscape, where design and innovation are at the forefront, effectively communicating and translating complex ideas through precise engineering drawings is an indispensable skill. However, students often encounter challenges in learning engineering drawing due to the complexity of visualizing and translating three-dimensional objects as well as the need for precise technical communication and spatial reasoning skills. The integration of technology application in engineering drawing shows positive impact in empowers students to visualize and understand complex spatial structures through interactive digital tools. such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and 3D modelling. Therefore, the study aims to review how technology-based approaches able to enhance students' visualization skills in learning engineering drawing. This study employs a systematic literature review that adheres to PRISMA to find the primary data based on a few keywords such as "visualization skill and engineering drawing". Based on advanced searching on SCOPUS and Web of Science found (n=26). Expert Scholar decided to develop four themes, which are (1) Augmented Reality in Engineering Education, (2) Teaching Methods and Pedagogical Approaches, (3) Spatial Abilities and Visualization in Engineering Education and (4) Skill Development and Improvement in Engineering Drawing. The findings of this comprehensive analysis indicate that while most studies report positive outcomes in students' visualization skills through targeted interventions, there remains a dearth of longitudinal assessments and standardized measures for evaluating progress. In conclusion, this systematic review underscores the importance of continued research and innovation in the realm of engineering drawing education, advocating for a holistic approach that integrates both traditional and technology-driven methods to enhance visualization skills.
