摘要

Relief interpretation, as part of geospatial thinking, studies landforms features (mountains, valleys, plains, etc.) and related geological processes (erosion, sedimentation, plate tectonics, etc.). Geospatial thinking is the ability to understand, analyze, and organize information about the geographic space. It involves interpreting and using visual representations of the territory, such as maps and 3D models, to understand spatial relationships, solve problems, and make informed decisions about the physical environment and its use, allows us to visualize, analyze, and understand concepts related to the Earth's surface, such as locations, patterns, relationships, and changes over time. Tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite imagery, and cartography allow for the representation of relief. Applications like Twinmotion enable 3D landform modeling, adding effects such as solar lighting, virtual flights, and materials (water, rocks, sand). This study describes the design of a workshop for first-year undergraduate engineering students in the STEM field using Twinmotion, in which engineering students model 3D landforms (valleys, hills, depressions, etc.) and perform interactive tours in pedestrian and drone mode. The tool proposed to measure the impact of the activity is the Topographic Map Assessment test, which measures knowledge and skills related to reading and interpreting topographic maps.
