Using healthcare problems that have been analyzed using DES software wouldgive students exposure to realistic situations which they may actually experience (e.g., waiting tobe seen in an emergency room).This concept has application, especially in engineering and technology education, through beingable to use real life examples in teaching DES concepts and software. This would give students abetter appreciation of the use of DES software in analyzing processes

However, it is evident that most undergraduateengineering courses are generally taught toward reflective, verbal, and intuitive learnertypes3 . This is in fact the exact opposite of the suggestions made from multiple learningstyle studies4 .

States.13 In contrast, 43.3% of the 49,372 Engineering Master’s Degrees conferred in 2012 went to non-resident aliens.14 53.9% of Engineering and Engineering Technology graduates are employed in a job in the field of their major one year after graduation.15 63.7% of Engineering and Engineering Technology graduates are employed in a STEM- related job one year after graduation.16 The Manufacturing and Construction sectors employ 50% to 60% of all engineers.17 Government is a significant employment sector for engineers, especially those involved in building and maintaining public infrastructure and inspecting private construction.18The reasonable conclusion of this is that the majority of our
senior industrialengineering students at Penn State University were Active, Sensing, Visual, and Sequentiallearners. Over 77% of the students surveyed were active learners while 76% assessed wereidentified as being sensing learners. Over 80% of the students assessed were visual learnerswhile 70% were deemed as being sequential learners. As part of this study, Penn State’sindustrial engineering student learning styles were compared to learning styles of IndustrialEngineers and STEM Majors at other major universities or institutions.Comparison of Learning StylesAmong other studies, learning styles research has been performed in Science, Technology, andEngineering Majors in Denmark at Aalborg University, by Anette Kolmos and Jette EgulundHolgaard11

a method of teaching that integrates community service into an academiccourse through applied learning to enrich the educational experience of students and meet theneeds of the community. In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities. Through theprojects, students gained a deeper understand of the course content, as well as
