Likewise, the learning materials and activities that an instructormight generally utilize with success, such as projected presentation materials, handouts of lecturenotes, hands-on demonstrations or laboratory experiments, and assigned readings of textbookchapters, can be less meaningful for students who exhibit a monomodal preference for Auditorylearning.When faced with an increased proportion of students who exhibit a preference for Auditorylearning, instructors may find increased success in their teaching by ensuring that main conceptsfrom the course are specifically described verbally in detail

Embedded in this experience and its related protocols are the emphases onengineering design and the practice, teamwork and leadership development, organizationalmanagement, and oral and written communication skills. The paper concludes by confirming thatdiscussions, through an open forum, are judged to be superior to traditional lectures in improvingcritical thinking, cultivating desirable personal attributes, and acquiring problem-solving skills.IntroductionLecturing or “teaching by telling” is the traditional and the most widely used form of instructionin most engineering institutions.
