This video is about a woman who did a course on engineering graphics and made it to obtain her PhD although she could not understand anything initial in her first year registration of the course. Since engineers use most of three dimensional spatial ability, this was a challenge for her. But although research confirms that women have weak spatial skills than men, through a course that they developed for first year students to improve female students' spatial skills, which also improved their success in other courses. She then suggest that girls must bee involved in 3-D computer games, allow them to develop logos, maps and space surrounding them. She calls for the sketching of real life objects in order to develop our girls' spatial skills. In this way, more girls will venture into the engineering space as future careers.
