. We found that ourBME students were more reflective than has typically been reported for engineering students.Consistent with reports for other engineering student populations, our students are stronglyvisual. Thus, professors should make a concerted effort to use more pictures, graphs, diagrams,flow charts, and demonstrations. Keep in mind that we all learn more when information ispresented both verbally and visually. Good instruction involves multiple strategies and we havefound that the instructional technologies are useful in addressing student learning style Page 13.1031.10preferences.

Page 13.128.7than rules. Our goal in the REU was to help students become aware of key communicationconcepts that experts have internalized, such as the following: ‚ Technical communication is multifaceted – combining writing, speaking, figures, and numbers. ‚ Technical communication takes place through different “channels” and uses different technologies: face-to-face meetings and teleconferences, slide presentations and reports ‚ Communication is a problem-solving process, and one’s final products are improved by reflection, feedback, revision, and editing ‚ Good engineering communicators: o Have a clear purpose in mind and tailor their communication to their audience o Master a number of
