According to Shulman, signature pedagogies have threestructural dimensions – surface (operational acts of teaching and learning), deep (assumptionsabout how best to impart knowledge) and explicit (moral dimension that comprises a set ofbelieves about professional attitudes, values and dispositions). Signature pedagogies inprofessional disciplines also have three temporal patterns: an initial pedagogy that frames andprefigures professional preparation, capstone apprenticeships and a sequenced and balancedportfolio4. Engineering, with its mix of analysis courses, laboratories and design studios, ischaracterized by the latter. Shulman also notes that a signature pedagogy can also be illustratedby

Instruments previously established by Brewe and colleagues16 for use inintroductory physics laboratories were adapted for use. In brief, students were asked “Who doyou work with on engineering assignments (i.e., homework, projects, etc.)? Please list all.” Ofthe 860 students enrolled in the class, 725 responded to the survey resulting in a response rate of84%. This SNA question was administered as part of larger, pen and paper survey of studentattitudes towards diversity during the final weeks of the semester.Data was manually compiled into an edge list, a paired list describing all the

ILTs. In the context of engineering education, the body of research has focusedon introducing developed computing systems or technology, such as virtual laboratories [9-10],e-learning [11], and interactive learning tools [12], as interactive educational tools. However, weknow little about how students’ individual personal traits leverage the effect of such tools,especially concerning the tools’ psychological, attitudinal, and behavioral effects. Thus, thisstudy will fill this gap in the literature in engineering education.2. Roles of Interactive Learning Tools in Engineering EducationStudents usually perform much better when they actively engage in their learning process,evaluate what they are learning, and regulate their own learning path

methods used to explore neural processes of decision-making andproblem solving under laboratory conditions are electroencephalography (EEG) and functionalmagnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). However, each have limitations, which has led to anemergent viable third option to study complex processes in more realistic environments, calledfunction near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We will briefly discuss all three methods.EEG involves a head covering (e.g., cap or net) which places electrodes on the scalp andmeasures electrical changes in the brain. Temporal resolution is very good (detects quickchanges) though spatial resolution is poor because signals often interfere with one another andmake it difficult to pinpoint specific brain regions involved
