Learning styles are not fixed personalitytraits, but are the results of unique individual programming7. Self-report instruments are used tomeasure learning styles preferences. The Felder model, specifically designed for engineeringstudents, looks at aspects of learning styles in engineering education and based on studentresults, advocates incorporating active, experiential, collaborative, and student–centeredapproaches8. The dimensions are as follows: • Sensing learners (concrete, practical) or intuitive learners (conceptual, innovative) • Visual learners (graphics, pictures, diagrams, etc) or verbal learners (written

/education researchers are familiar with content imparted in the classroom, andthis facilitates their education research. However, effective engineering education research isdifferent. Few learning scientists have the content knowledge to know where students might behaving difficulty, and lack the experience to know what skills and mental habits engineeringstudents need to possess by the time they graduate. In turn, few engineering faculty are good atanalyzing their own teaching methods, recognizing how people learn, or designing studies thatrely on social science research methods. Through the collaboration of learning scientists andengineers, these disparate skills have been brought together. As discussed extensively in otherpublications from VaNTH

The most promising programs are well-tested,comprehensive, and consistent with educational standards of governing bodies such as theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)2 and the National Academy of Engineering(NAE)3. However, these programs are often implemented ad-hoc, without standardizedprofessional development for teachers4. Consequently, students may be exposed to differenttypes and levels of K-12 engineering curricula.As college engineering programs become increasingly interdisciplinary, it is vital
