]. With the increase in research publications, the focus on impact indicators has broadened,with citation counts remaining a widely accepted measure. Yet, they are not direct measures ofquality [7]. Despite controversies around these metrics, they continue to be used in academicdecision making. An additional metric that is being used more for evaluating scholarship are downloadcounts [8, 9]. Using downloads reflects a broader view of research impact, considering the actualusage and dissemination of scholarly works. While there is a correlation between downloadmetrics and citations [10], there are situations where this is not the case. For example, papers withfewer citations might be extensively downloaded and used by practitioners

The literature in project management education supports this underlying personalbelief. “Preparing students for professional practice is enhanced by the use of ‘authentic’ tasksand assessments that reflect the practices and outputs encountered in the profession” [1]. Inorder to be authentic, it needs to be a real executable project.

This study aims to contribute to the discourse within engineering education by examining thecorrelation between the alignment of student and instructor learning styles and its impact onstudent academic performance. The Silverman-Felder ILS, a well-established tool, delineateslearning styles across four dimensions: active/reflective, verbal/visual, sensing/intuitive, andsequential/global. We operationalize alignment as the proximity in four-dimensional space betweena student's ILS score and that of their instructor. Initial findings based on a cohort of 300 Cadets atthe United
