Emerging mission areas, particularly in the space and cyber domains, are expanding the need for new technical skills and expertise… A growing percentage of science and engineering graduates in the United States are foreign citizens and thus ineligible for the security clearances that many jobs in the Air Force and in the aerospace industry require.

. Oneconsequence of this is that in terms of chronology, formal education in engineering at theundergraduate level came into being before the profession was well-organized in the UnitedStates. As the just quoted phrase “mechanic arts” suggests, the term “mechanical engineer” was Page 25.537.3still somewhat uncommon in the 1860’s. Terms such as electrical engineer or chemical engineeror industrial engineer were coined during the just described fifty year period in which academicdisciplines were being created and defined.

programming assignments showed that the majority of first-yearstudents in programming courses do not meet the expectations of instructors at the end of theirfirst course in computing [2]. Engineering students are no different in this regard. One potentialreason for this discrepancy between the learning outcomes desired by instructors and studentperformance is that the instructional methods used as well as the course content do not matchwell with the learning styles of most engineering students.The idea of learning styles has been around since the early 1980’s [4] and there are manylearning style models and assessments. The most commonly used within engineering is theFelder-Silverman learning styles model [5], with its associated assessment, the Index
