As such, the purpose of this paper is to present evidence on the effect offormative assessment design on student performance, and whether this effect varies by studentlearning style. The results from this study can be used by engineering educators to eitherdiversify or personalize their assessment style.This work is grounded in the Felder-Soloman learning style model, a model that was developedwithin engineering education and has been validated and widely used within the field. Thismodel categorizes learning styles along four distinct dimensions: perception (sensing versusintuitive), input (visual versus verbal), processing (active versus reflective), and understanding(sequential

To aid the students in the process of exploring a literary piece for design ideas, two mainadditions were added to the requirements for the project. The first was a structured way tointeract with the book that allowed students to document passages that could be used forinspiration in the design process, to convert these to a visual representation of a concept, and toverbally portray the connection between the design and the passage. These “reflection”assignments were accomplished through a type of two column notes. The second was to providea list of technical objectives for the robot. This allowed the

The course focus was on reflective practice and on findings fromcognitive science and education research and their application to engineering teaching andlearning. Throughout the quarter, we tried to maintain a tension between theory and practice. Onthe theory side, students became familiar with conceptual change, memory, motivation, and otherlearning concepts.

Faculty are the critical component in achieving the necessary systemic transformation.Facilitating the development of desired skills, dispositions, and reflective habits of mind within ourstudent populations requires a critical mass of faculty able and eager to embody and enact thesedesired characteristics.

The movebeyond calculating averages to the study of real variation is one of the most important scientificdevelopments of the 19th century [1].
