The present article aims to present the results of a survey conducted at Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering among architecture and civil engineering students in their first grade with regard to changes in their spatial abilities. We applied the internationally acknowledged Mental Cutting Test (MCT) in the survey. We analysed the impact of one semester-long attendance of the discipline Descriptive Geometry on test results; distribution in different subject groups; signs of considerable differences between genders and majors; improvement of the subjects and indexes to measure improvement; connection between MCT results and end-term marks of the subjects. In the analysis statistical methods were used; the conclusions extracted from data evaluation were submitted to hypothesis testing and the results were interpreted.
