or other active experiences may increaseretention of material by up to 90% [25]. Richard Felder and Linda Silverman recommend severalteaching techniques to address all learning styles, one of which is to provide demonstrations forstudents with sensing and visual learning styles and hands-on experiments for students with ac-tive learning styles [26]. According to Moore, there is a direct correlation between in-class per-formance, laboratory attendance, and performance [27]. In capstone related project, active Page 26.972.11learning can be achieved through a variety of activities that include lab and project experimentswith hands-on projects
