More total learningoccurs when each of these four steps occurs 5, 6.It can be argued that learning can begin with any step of the process. Engineering, for example,is often taught by introducing a concept or model and assigning homework to reinforce theconcept. In a course that has a lab component, the students can sometimes put the concept into Concrete Experience (experiencing/feeling) Active Experimentation Reflective Observation (applying/doing) (examining

response to these trends, more engineering courses are being designed to incorporate moreinnovative, creative problem-solving skills2,3,4,5. Some examples include field trips or minicompetitions as a creative model to encourage creativity6. In addition, problem-based learningand critical thinking skills in the context of real-world problems have been integrated intoengineering education to facilitate students’ divergent thinking during the idea generation phase7.Among them, the most common instructional approach in engineering education is open-endeddesign projects, where the target product is not defined in order to allow creative opportunities3,5.One argument in favor of open-ended design projects is that students reflect on their owncreative

One such pedagogical intervention is photovoice, which hasbeen widely used in educational, social science, health, and non-traditional literature [3] as aresearch approach to problem-solving through the use of photo (e.g., image) and voice (e.g.,narrative reflection). Photovoice is based on three primary goals: 1) enable individuals to reflecton existing issues and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, 2) promote critical dialoguethrough group discussions, and 3) initiate a call to action to drive social change. In recent years,photovoice has been extensively used in engineering education research to

Felder and Silverman (1988) sought to identify mismatches betweenlearning styles and the teaching styles of engineering faculty through a survey instrumentdeveloped from the learning style model from David Kolb (1984). The Felder and Silvermanmodel of learning styles is exemplified by a survey instrument developed called the Index ofLearning Styles (ILS) (1988). This instrument will be used as a basis for this study as well. TheILS includes active or reflective, sensing or intuitive, visual or verbal, and sequential or global.The survey instrument builds upon Kolb’s learning
