. What are thepreferred learning styles of Gen Z engineering students and how do these relate to theirpersonality types? While we assume that effective teaching in engineering involves active andgroup learning, use of makerspaces, and problem solving studios, we really don’t know thelearning preferences of the new generation of students. This generation has grown up withelectronic screens and social media in front of their faces from a very young age. And now facultyare trying to have them work in groups, take them to the makerspace, and so on without knowingwhether the Gen Zs will respond in the same way as Gen Xs and millennials.IntroductionThere have been many studies performed to understand the relationship between students’personality types

contacted the Engineering Librarian to inquire if information literacy could be incorporated into the course. The instructor and Engineering Librarian identified an early lab report where students could use reference materials to verify or check the values they recorded during their lab experiments. Since this lesson plan was supplemental to the learning outcomes identified in other courses, it is an opportunity to reinforce exposure to literature in the discipline. • ME 349 (Fall Senior Year). ME 349 was the thermal/fluids laboratory course taken in the fall of senior year. Students wrote lab reports that included a full theory review, experimental setup, results, and discussion.

smaller universities.The added costs to staffing, research spaces, and enrollment challenges are barriers to starting arich course for aspiring students.One way to creatively support a Cardiovascular Engineering course at smaller, under-resourcedprograms is establishing collaborative relationships with other institutions. With the sudden riseof remote learning tools and the increased proficiencies in remote delivery, the bridge to developmulti-institutional collaboration has never been more accessible. While it is more common to seemultiple institutions collaborate on research, collaborative education can benefit all participatinginstitutions. The diversity of teaching and research experience can provide greater depth andoffer broader expertise
