One of our most important goals for developing this data warehousing courseware is toget students personally engaged in the use of the courseware to understand the fundamentalconcepts of data warehousing. We conducted a survey on this tool in our Data Warehousingand Data Mining class, CSC 177, in spring 2010 semester at California State University,Sacramento for the upper division undergraduate and graduate students in the ComputerScience Department. The overall assessment from this student group on this courseware isextremely encouraging to us. The following is a brief summary of the positive feedbacksfrom the student group: 1.

It is anticipated that the instructional material modules thatare developed could be incorporated in existing undergraduate and graduate mechanics anddesign courses. The key to the success of this enterprise is the development of an automated stressanalysis software that is nearly complete.

For the entiresample, there is a slight negative correlation (-0.078 and -0.030). To further assess the data, the ratio of the average project grade to the average examgrade was computed for each year of the study (see Table 1). The results show that teamsperform better (relative to their exam performance) if the teams were not randomly formed.While one would like to say that forming teams based on the learning styles results in a betterperformance
