It wasdeveloped by Dr. Felder, a professor of chemical engineering and initially utilized in hischemical engineering classes. Since its creation, it has been used in most disciplines ofengineering study. In a search of the ASEE conference proceeding from 2000 to 2006, Litzingeret al.

As such,effective processing techniques are required to integrate the nanomaterial particulates into thematerial systems at a larger component and structural level.

becomes difficult to satisfy the instructional goals and objectives. Most current teaching tends to be abstract, verbal, deductive, and sequential, and students tend to be passive. Felder and Silverman [5, 6] have concluded that all combinations of teaching and learning styles are needed in an engineering curriculum to reach all student types. The recommendations of Felder and Silverman are also echoed by Kolb in his four-stage learning cycle. Working with engineering students at MIT, Kolb developed a model of experiential learning that provides a framework for understanding learning styles [1 O, 13]. Kolb organized the elements of learning and learning styles into four

In some of the projects, they then need todo an economic analysis to evaluate these effects. It is not necessary for all students to be doingthe same thing in each project, since the purpose of the class is to use simulation to solve open-ended problems and suggest the importance of life-long learning.The projects usually involve more modeling than design and students, to their surprise, find thatmodeling is not as easy as they think.
