formative assessments to favordifferent learning styles (Wang, Wang et al. 2006). Both learning style and formativeassessment strategy significantly affected student achievement, though, consistent with Pashler etal.’s conclusion, the interaction between these factors was not significant. Additionally, as thisstudy was performed with a web-based middle-school biology course, a gap remains with regardto undergraduate engineering education.As the primary motivation for this study is increasing the diversity of the engineering graduatesthat colleges and universities prepare for the workforce, some evidence demonstrates thatvarying teaching approaches to favor a multitude of learning styles may aid in achieving thatparticular end.

Engineering Ethics
organizations often tend to amplify the moral and political values that are lacking and need to be further enhanced in developing contexts. They view technologies as instruments for well-being rather than profits.As engineering educators who are interested in preparing future engineers for the increasinglyglobalized future, we need to be careful about what kind(s) of “global engineers” we are training.Emphasizing one or two approaches to engineering ethics over others represents an incompleteapproach that fails to project an appropriately comprehensive view of global engineering practice.Obviously, we are not training every student to become a professional engineer working in amultinational business company, nor do we expect that

learning approaches with ever-changing research-based and technologically instrumented means, transferring control over education from teachers to mangers of the bureaucracy.Therefore, engineering education is considered as a system that can be studied, controlled,optimized, and assessed. A classic example in this regard is the “pipeline” metaphor [10] that hasbeen widely used in the United States to understand and tackle the systematic challenges withretaining engineering students and recruiting underrepresented populations. Nearly allengineering education graduate programs in the United States are in engineering colleges,schools, or departments.

Many of these coursesare freshman-level mathematics and chemistry courses, as well as some sophomore-levelengineering courses. PAL leaders attend class for the section(s) they support so they are aware ofthe current material being discussed. This also allows them to build rapport with the instructor aswell as the students enrolled in the section(s) they support. Leaders then hold two 80 minutesessions each week. During sessions, leaders facilitate collaborative activities and studentdiscussions related to course topics as well as provide a safe place to ask questions and makemistakes along the way.

For example, the UKPassport Office instead of seeking a witness for the applicant of a passport from the traditionalprofessions now includes the statement “…or professionally qualified person e.g. lawyer, engineer,doctor, school teacher, police officer or person of similar standing” [5].Engineering, although long considered a profession, has not remained static in this changing space.Ever since the engineering institutions were established in the UK they have sought prestige andstatus. In the 1950’s and 1960’s engineers in the UK argued for an equivalent organization to theRoyal Society and they were rewarded by the establishment of a Royal Academy of Engineering.Several years before that, American engineers had won

This study makes use of a variety of statistical tools in order to reach its conclusion, about95% confidence intervals were produced using hypothesis testing; Wilcoxon signed rank test andMann Whitney U test for non-parametric data to determine skills satisfaction gaps between preand post participation and skills and knowledge satisfaction as self-reported by the students afterhaving such experience. Reliability was demonstrated using Cronbach`s alpha in order to determine the internalconsistencies of the used satisfaction scales, Cronbach alpha values above 0.9 indicate
