widely-adopted technology trend, there is a significant need to address thetechnical skills of the emerging workforce and improve their quality of training especially in thefield of additive manufacturing. As 21st century industries transition to globally interconnectedconglomerates (Industry 4.0), the training programs also need to evolve to provide the high-techskills required3. This portrays a need for innovative focused advanced engineering trainingtechniques that can increase the pool of highly skilled American workers with requiredproficiency. However, the main implication of teaching emerging technologies in academiapertains to not many institutions (both schools and colleges) continually being able to afford andprocure the required

In DBR, we use theory to inform our course design and collect data to evaluate the desiredstudent outcomes. DBR differs from laboratory experimental research in that DBR is situated inreal-world contexts where confounding factors are difficult to control, whereas laboratoryexperiments aim to control for such factors6. DBR also differs from action research in that DBRapplies theory in real-world contexts, whereas action research serves to solve an immediateproblem that often involves the use of non-research personnel7.The outcomes of DBR include theory generation and practical educational interventions.Through our study, we will generate theory by

forfuture success even with low college entrance exams.These previous studies have provided the basic question for the new study; are learning stylescorrelated with discipline? 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
