for improving teaching stylesto match the vast spectrum of learning styles [1,2]. R. M. Felder and L. K. Silverman, in theirpaper “Learning and Teaching Styles in Engineering Education” [1], provide an excellentdiscussion of learning and teaching styles. Felder clearly describes how specific teaching stylescan be adopted to address various learning styles found among students [2]. These variations inlearning are classified as 32 different possible learning styles. For clarity, we have repeated thesummary table from pg. 675 of Felder’s paper [1] in Table 1. It is important to realize that peopledo not neatly fall into any particular learning style but that there is a continuum of learning

, especially in first yearengineering courses, teaching inclusive, collaborative and productive behaviors for working inteams composed of people with diverse backgrounds is challenging [1]. For students frommarginalized or minority populations, many interventions focus on preparing them to workwithin a majority-focused and sometimes unwelcoming culture [2]. Supported by NSF funding, ateam of researchers investigated a different approach. They infused existing engineering andcomputer science curriculum with small, but impactful, changes or additions to help studentsdevelop inclusive professional identities. That project approached diversity holistically,including different life experiences, demographic characteristics, personalities, and problem

sometimes feel that what they arelearning is irrelevant to the rest of their career. And because many students becomecynical about or act less than interested in their education, the professors can come to feelthat the students don’t really know or appreciate the material presented in the courses andare only after grades.To address some of these perceived problems, we developed and used an educationalframework which we called the “Bioprocessing Cluster” for teaching bioprocessing(biochemical engineering) to undergraduate students. At Penn State, chemicalengineering students can specialize in areas of concentration called “options” by taking aprescribed set of courses in place of random electives. For example a student can get a“bioprocessing

taken to ensure that the lecture and laboratory are synchronized. In the firstthree laboratory exercises, the students use Xilinx ISE to enter their designs and create testbenchwaveforms. Modelsim Xilinx Edition is utilized for the actual simulation, although we do not teach theusage of Modelsim in this course. However, a few simulator restarts and signal grouping techniques areshown to students who show interest. When designs are proven using the simulator, the students arerequired to construct the design using discrete TTL components.As shown in Table 1, we start the use of FPGA by using a mystery design. The students have to reverse-engineer a design from the input and output they record. During this laboratory, they are given a
