computing andeach requires a different skill set. It seems like people in these fields have a preference for beingtaught differently. Is it possible to predict in which computing discipline an incoming freshmanwould succeed based on their learning style? Previous research has shown a correlation betweenlearning style and academic success, but does this correlation also exist for computingstudents?In the 1970s, David Kolb developed a model to represent learning styles. His model works on atwo-axis system: concrete experience (CE) versus abstract conceptualization (AC), and reflectiveobservation (RO) versus active experimentation (AE). The x-axis, AE−RO, differentiatesbetween students who learn by doing or by seeing results, and those who prefer to

, criticalthinking, and information retention. A study by the National Academy of Engineering (2005)recommends learning environments that foster problem solving, student engagement andcollaboration. Research has shown that using student-centered active learning strategies in theclassroom leads to enhanced learning (Benson et al., 2010). According to Towner (2017),engineering education must be re-evaluated to increase “value added time” in the classroom.Therefore, it is important to incorporate teaching methods that provide more opportunities forstudent learning and development of critical skills.Based on information provided in existing literature, three different in-class instructionalmethods were evaluated in college classrooms in Canada and the United
