, our research delves into the realm of student-teacher dynamicsthrough the lens of learning styles, as evaluated by the Silverman-Felder Index of Learning Styles(ILS). This study aims to contribute to the discourse within engineering education by examining thecorrelation between the alignment of student and instructor learning styles and its impact onstudent academic performance. The Silverman-Felder ILS, a well-established tool, delineateslearning styles across four dimensions: active/reflective, verbal/visual, sensing/intuitive, andsequential/global. We operationalize alignment as the proximity in four-dimensional space betweena student's ILS score and that of their instructor. Initial findings based on a cohort of 300 Cadets atthe United

They weretreated the same as the students who never understood the concept.Offering partial credit for an exam is an interesting topic by itself among the educationalcommunity. Some faculty members do not give it, while many others do. The methods fordetermining partial credit include reviewing exam papers manually [12], asking and reviewingpost-exam reflections from the students [13], and conducting in-person interviews [14]. Somefaculty members went in the other direction of eliminating partial credit and supplementing itwith extra credit problems [15

Yet, the opportunities to develop, sustain, and grow one’sengineering identity are not uniformly distributed across students enrolled in engineering programs, nor evenamong those select students offered the opportunities to participate in mentored engineering researchinterventions [4]. Indeed, engineering students from underrepresented and structurally marginalized groups may have feweraccess points to engage with engineering peers, mentors, and professionals prior to and during their collegiatestudies [5-7].

Therefore, it is critical, and especially for students who are the mostvulnerable to attrition such as URM, to develop a strong SOB early in a college career [18].Similarly, while retention models recognize the importance of academic success and intellectualgrowth to retention, they do not connect effective Self-Regulation of Learning (SRL) toretention. Zimmerman’s social-cognitive model of SRL [19] focuses on an individual’scognition, actions, and affect while learning.

Conversely, mastery learning assumes thatall students, given enough time and intervention, can eventually master the content [4], [5], [6].Learning within mastery frameworks concerns itself with identifying learning trajectories andproviding students with curriculum for gaining knowledge and skills, assessing mastery throughformative assessments, and providing feedback to help students master one set of skills beforemoving on to the next set [7

When asked about the role and importance of a teacher's topical knowledge, participants’consensus was that it could be assumed, rather than being something that differentiated good or bad teaching. Wesee this as important, and likely contextual. Upon reflection, we see it as unsurprising for participants in ourinstitutional context to see faculty as inherently experts to the point that it can be unspoken.

As engineers have become familiar with qualitative methodologies [1-2],researchers have begun to explore different types of approaches to illuminate the humanexperience.
