“surprises” are greatly reduced, and the students understandwhat is expected of them to reach their course goals. This tool was developed over a three yearperiod of teaching engineering courses at Auburn University.INTRODUCTIONA search of the literature and presentations at education conferences turns up many referencesconcerning teaching and learning styles. As educators, these are vital areas in which we must betrained. There is much of value for us in these subject areas. Our students may not appreciate ourpreparedness, but if they learn, we will have succeeded in our charge to educate them.In the proceedings of the 1996 ASEE Conference, for instance, there were papers dealing with avariety of topics, such as new faculty orientations1, with the

As a result,those professors have to teach those topics at some level of detail, which cuts into theirinstructional time on the key elements of the course. On the opposite side, many engineering andscience professors
