Two graduate students from other engineering schools were also enrolled. To formulate my ideas for the project, I collaborated with staff at the City of ChicagoDepartment of the Environment, the Region 5 EPA office, and EPA headquarters. The resultingproject had two elements. Both originally focused on Pilsen, a Chicago neighborhood that isboth a trucking hub and a population center for working class families. As part of the firstelement, students assumed the role of fleet managers of small trucking firms in Pilsen seeking tojoin EPA’s SmartWay Transport

This may include, but is not limited to, seminar topics, field trips to aircraft designers, and actual construction of an aircraft. The primary purpose of the course is to compliment the capstone aircraft design sequence and give selected students significant exposure to aircraft fabrication techniques. By its nature this

). They concluded that the use of theseassessments in practice is likely a waste of resources, though solely based on the “meshing,” oralignment of teaching with learning style preference, hypothesis at the center of their review.However, a reason these learning style models are popular among faculty is they provide aheuristic basis for varying teaching methods, such as in-class activities, assignments, andassessments. No research has been conducted to demonstrate increased student performance as aresult of application of the Felder and Soloman (n.d.) learning styles model to teaching, but othermodels have demonstrated evidence of improved performance (Kolb 1984, Brokaw and Merz2000).
