The John Zink Institute has been teaching acourse on process burners used in those heaters for many years. However, until fairly recently,relatively little consideration was given to adjusting the instructional methods to accommodatethe various learning styles of the students. This paper describes how multiple techniquesaddressing different learning styles are used to help explain a somewhat complicated, butcritically important concept in that course, for properly operating process heaters.IntroductionContinuing professional education is critical for graduate engineers because of rapid changes intechnology. 1 -4 This

technically oriented outcomes. However, itis a little more difficult to address some of the softer or less technical outcomes (referred to atleast once at the ASEE 2007 annual meeting as the “squishier outcomes”) such as c, f, h, and i. Programs often struggle with how to document that their graduates understand the impactof engineering solutions in a global and societal context, engage in life-long learning, anddemonstrate knowledge of contemporary issues (criteria h, i, and j, respectively). Theseoutcomes can be difficult to demonstrate. One method of documenting these particular outcomesis to include case studies of failed engineering works in the curriculum. Many case studies showthe direct societal impact of failures, and demonstrate the

academic aptitudefor the first time, but too often provides them with little or no help in identifying and overcomingthe barriers to their learning.The Study Group on the Conditions of Excellence in American Higher Education stated “there isnow a good deal of research evidence to suggest that the more time and effort students invest inthe learning process and the more intensely they engage in their own education, the greater willbe their satisfaction with their educational experiences, their persistence in college, and the morelikely they are to continue their learning”6. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that an effectivestudent must be both self-aware and self-directed, yet these issues are often ignored completelyby engineering faculty.Student

Critics of engineering education argue that educational programs focus toomuch on the transmittal of information through static lecture-discussion formats and routine useof outdated laboratory exercises6, 7.

We have separate rankings for schools that offer doctoral degrees in engineering and schools whose terminal degree in engineering is a bachelor's or master's. Research at the graduate level often influences the undergraduate curriculum, and schools that have doctoral programs in engineering tend to offer the widest possible range of offerings. Students who prefer a program focused on undergraduates can consult the list of top programs at schools whose terminal degree is the bachelor's or master's. Fifty percent of those surveyed returned ratings of the group whose terminal degree in engineering is a bachelor's or master's; 59 percent did so for the
