Abstract: Spatial visualization of first-year engineering students has been evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the two semesters, which contain the essential Descriptive Geometry courses. The evaluation has been processed by Mental Cutting Test (MCT) which is one of the most widely used evaluation method for spatial abilities. In this paper we present an analysis of MCT results of the students, with special emphasis on gender differences. The development is found to be considerable while gender differences have became even more significant during this period.
