Abstract
According to experts in the training of engineers, the main strengths of engineering professionals is spatial intelligence that helps you understand and manage the physical forms of their environment. The purpose of this research is to determine the best teaching strategies that develop spatial intelligence. Graphic Engineering courses career of Industrial Engineering, University San Pedro, were designed using both instruments and paper, as computer support and solid materials that could be engineered for two-and three-dimensional representation. The research has yielded such results that the strategy applied rises by 24% the rate of spatial intelligence of students tested, which is a significant risk factor increase this capacity, especially considering that the course taught each of them has lasted for only four months. Despite these encouraging results, we believe that subsequently can be performed similar research that considers other factors and assessment methods are perfected, all of which we detail our findings and recommendations.
