The use of visualization techniques has recently been revitalized in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. In an effort to improve retention and reduce failure rates at our university a recent research study was performed to determine the impact of visualization techniques throughout our computer science curriculum. To what extent should a data structures and algorithms course, for example, use visualization techniques to improve student interest and comprehension? Which courses in our curriculum will benefit most with the use of visualization techniques? What visualization tools should be used? At what level should visualization techniques be emphasized? This paper presents a brief description of our findings related to these issues and concludes with information related to how our students learn.
