However for any given individual there are certain modes of learning and thinkingthat are more natural and effective than the other methods. Many educational researchers havestudied the different styles of learning and teaching that occur in our classrooms, and as a result,several different classification schemes have emerged[ 8 ].

By the time students reach the pre-college years of high school, theopportunity to teach concepts that would make for a strong engineering candidate may havealready been missed.

The DMP assignment in the Thielen workresulted in a large range of DMPs: from 3 to 26 pages. The authors note that they will revise theassignment in the future to be more explicit. Our experience from this course indicates that thismight be a result of no distinction between the short, funding proposal DMP and the longer,laboratory DMP. A distinction between these two different DMPs and suggestions on how toteach each is included in a separate presentation.[27] From the variety of previous approaches to teaching RDM at the graduate level, twothemes emerge: 1

experience, we have identified five key measures to easethe transition and enhance the educational experience: 1) use "real-world" projects to motivatethe learning process and introduce them at the beginning of the semester; 2) follow establishedkeys to using groups successfully; 3) ensure sufficient "coverage" by having students learn basicmaterial outside the classroom, which also fosters life-long learning; 4) team teach courses; and5) use laboratory sessions for group-learning activities. While the concepts have been tested onupper-level courses (junior, senior, graduate), we feel they are appropriate for lower-divisioncourses as well.INTRODUCTIONLocal and national surveys consistently point to several weaknesses in engineering education
