the Dun and Dun Learning Style Model. (11)The MBTI, based on Jung’s theory, has been popular in explaining differences inlearning for normal people. The dimension of most interest for learning is sensing (S)versus intuitive (N) type. (12) The sensing person prefers a straightforward, logical, step-by-step approach to learning. The sensing person, often learns by solving problems, andtends to find theory difficult. The intuitive individual, on the other hand, will skip stepsand follow hunches. He /she learns from theory and tends to do a minimal number ofproblems because they think they understand without having to solve problems. (13)Perry’s Model of College Student Development (14) can also be used to monitor studentlearning. According to
handwritten homework to assess students' presentation skills. This isrelatively easy in lower enrollment courses (30-36 students) in which professors can oversee theproblem solving process. Some (like ourselves) have the ability to teach at smaller schools andthere are ways to use hybrid approaches of online and handwritten homework to assess andinstill the importance of effective technical communication. We are not sure what the solutionwill be in large enrollment courses.References[1] Kolowich, S., "A Truce on the Tech Front at San Jose State", The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2013.[2] Rose, A.T.," Graphical Communication Using Hand-Drawn Sketches in Civil Engineering", Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education &
single iteration of the MDM structure. The “final report” for this stagepertains to only this stage and will not contain a self-reflection statement. It is however expectedto contain a discussion and proposal of alternative design process and parameters. Thesealternatives, that may prove more efficient and or lead to better filters, are to be discussed withreference to some figure(s) of merit (FOM) that the students arrive at while characterizing theinitial MDM filter. Obvious choices for device FOM would be percent reflectance andbandwidth of the MDM filter. Other FOMs could be developed around cost and performance ofthe final device. Guided by these choices and outcomes from the initial stage, students carry outa second iteration (process
