Data reported by Felder and Brent10 show that 85% of engineering students areconsidered to be visual learners. Although data could not be found for engineering technologystudents, the author expects that the percent should be even higher, due to the additionalcoursework in the areas of CAD and the emphasis on “hands on” laboratory work that is requiredin an engineering technology curriculum.Development of these “audio/video” files begins by writing a script that is then recorded in asound booth and

Abstract DeVry University’s Electronics Engineering Technology/Computer EngineeringTechnology (EET/CET) program senior project is a two-semester course sequence in whichstudents synthesize knowledge and skills learned in the previous courses. In the first course(EET-400, Project management), students research, plan and develop a project proposal. And inthe second course (EET-410L, Senior Project Laboratory) students implement the project plan bybuilding and testing a prototype. A typical project involves a solution to a software/hardware-based engineering problem. The process of developing and implementing a solution to theproblem offers a learning opportunity for students to gain new insights and competencies as aresult of “constructivist
