In the years 1996--2001, a new research on geometrical predisposition was conducted
among the students of Environmental Engineering at the Faculty of Environmental
Engineering and Land Surveying at the Agricultural University of Cracow. The research
started in the years, when the entrance examination in mathematics has been cancelled.
Students, who lack geometric knowledge, have also great problems to complete courses
both in descriptive geometry and engineering drawing. The research continued in the
following years, when exam in mathematics was brought back to life. The goal of the
research was to provide evaluation of students' spatial abilities and to indicate
conclusions for future use.
Keywords: geometric predisposition, descriptive geometry, graphics education.
MSC: 51N05.
