Thesepositive changes were seen overall, in learning objectives and theoretically basedcategorizations of group concepts, and, in most cases, at the individual statement level.As communication and team skills become increasingly important in the modern world,these team experiences may become a vital part of engineering education.References:1 www.abet.org.

As thesestructures became taller and required more intricate utility systems (plumbing, mechanical,electrical, etc.) the need for engineering services increased. However the acceptance and statureof the engineer remained subservient to the architect. At this point in time the practice ofmedicine for general health

simply a preferred way of learning– often the way(s) that knowledge “sticks” most easily. While the diversity of learningstyles can be a source of frustration for educators (one blanket teaching method is grosslyinadequate for maximum learning), it can also be used to design more effective courses.There are several methods to assess learning preferences2. One method particularly suitedto science and engineering students is the Index of Learning Styles (ILS)3. In this methodlearning preferences are determined via a web-based 44-question survey with resultsalong a spectrum of four learning pairings: verbal-visual, global-sequential, sensing-intuitive, and active-reflective4. The learning style preferences for this class aresummarized in Figure 1
