be and can be better designed through 3Dmodeling software to create a more effective and efficient wind turbine. Through an understandingof aerodynamics and air flow, it is possible to generate an airfoil design for the blade of the windturbine, which induces lift by creating a low pressure, high velocity flow of air over its curved topsurface and a high pressure, low velocity pocket under the curved top surface, which will reducethe amount of drag back into the fan, increasing efficiency of the fan. The overall length and widthof the new design is similar to the flat blade design, but because of its curvature it has less surfacearea for the wind to contact it [12-15].In preparing students for their future career, virtual reality experiences

However, the curriculum does notspecifically focus on information literacy or question formulation.

An ASEE-MBTIstudy done in 1980s showed that engineering students predominantly tend to have thinking andjudging personality types and are generally introverted [3,4]. However, no study has relatedstudents’ personality type to their technical topics of interest. Data gathered last year [1] showed that engineering students generally have the samepersonality types as in the 1980 data gathered by ASEE. The majority of engineering studentshad J and T personality types. There was a shift in the introverted and extroverted personalitytypes with a greater
