First, we developed eight Likert Scalesurvey items associated with the stated learning objectives (Table 1) in each of our five coreworkshop modules. These included reflective questions about classroom practices related tostudent mindset, unconscious bias, and fair assessment of student work.

Labels were identified for inferred concepts aboutengineering (e.g. “I am anxious about taking the higher-level math courses required”). Theconcepts then were examined and collated together into broader patterns of meaning. Thesepatterns of meaning were checked against the greater data to refine into specific themes.ResultsStudents’ preconceptions of engineering centered around five key thematic areas: knowledge,perception, impact, method and performance (Figure 1).

Each of the dimensions consists of twoopposite categories or learning styles: active vs reflective, sensing vs intuitive, visual vs verbal,inductive vs deductive, and sequential vs global [2]. One outcome of these early studies was thedocumentation of the learning styles preferences of undergraduate engineering students. Earlyengineering education research helped in identifying learning style preferences, while attemptingto address the gap between preferred learning styles and actually teaching styles being employedin engineering courses.

At the one extreme, impulsive individuals have a tendency to act spontaneously, givingthe first answers that come to mind. At the other extreme, reflective individuals tend to take timeto explore the plausible alternatives to respond to questions and resolve problems32. Fielddependent individuals tend to depend on global perception and demonstrate a need for an“inordinate” amount of concrete referents to work through problems (actual objects, pictures,graphs, diagram, and so on)33.
