The same textbook was used in thenew delivery model as had been used previously; the same laboratory experiments wereundertaken by students, but students had a different approach to the workload.Throughout the course, students proceeded at their own pace, and completed 7 “missions”,each with 5 levels of performance. The first 3 levels were successively more complexanalytical problems. The 4th level was a lab report based on a moderately challengingopen-ended lab experiment, and the 5th level was an opportunity for the student to extend aconcept based on the content of the earlier lab experiment.

We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have

People with this learning style are best at finding practical uses for ideas and theories. They have the ability to solve problems and make decisions based on finding solutions to questions or problems.
