In addition to being asked to think aloud as they readthe “one model” description, participants were prompted to comment on it in relation to howthey had just solved the playground problem. We also present results from three other tasks administered during the last part of thedesign session. These were given in the form of a written questionnaire (see Appendix B). Thefirst task, labeled “Your Illustration of Design,” asked participants to: “Use this paper to create apicture or representation of what you think the process of design is.” The second task (adaptedfrom

Observing these parameters helpsthe user to better understand the cause-and-effect relationships of certain components andalterations, helping to identify mistakes and see where to improve [15], [24-25]. The simulatoressentially becomes a virtual laboratory for engineers to experiment on, learning from mistakes,and moving forward without any risk of action.

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. In formal learning situations, people with this style prefer to experiment with new ideas, simulations, laboratory assignments, and practical applications.Assimilating The dominant
