Abstract

Several studies report that Engineering students face difficulties in understanding the concepts of Spatial Geometry in Technical Drawing courses. Thus, this papers goal is to present a mixed methodology that combines AR artifacts with traditional educational materials, like books and course packs. Some results of this methodology are shown in an Engineering course along five years, indicating that its application could be effective to improve students´ apprehension of 3D forms.
