Title: Visual Tools for Analyzing and Organizing Engineering Data and Information
Abstract: The chapter examines the use of visual tools in inquiry-based learning in engineering education. Engineering information has traditionally been communicated using engineering drawings. The advancement of technology has empowered engineers to work with data to generate graphics where visual tools have been successfully employed in the industry. However, many educational institutions still rely on text-based learning, which rely on linguistic abilities to convey complex concepts. Using program logic theory, the authors evaluate how a poster can help learners acquire knowledge and know-how to represent complex ideas in a logical and consistent manner. Students reported benefits in poster exercise compared with a written assignment. This chapter also discusses the educational and managerial significance of using visual tools to greater effectiveness and the importance of communicating technical information.
