. We found that ourBME students were more reflective than has typically been reported for engineering students.Consistent with reports for other engineering student populations, our students are stronglyvisual. Thus, professors should make a concerted effort to use more pictures, graphs, diagrams,flow charts, and demonstrations. Keep in mind that we all learn more when information ispresented both verbally and visually. Good instruction involves multiple strategies and we havefound that the instructional technologies are useful in addressing student learning style Page 13.1031.10preferences.

It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops.
