More and more frequently, toys areused as cognitive learning tools and manipulative models to aid students in grasping these newskills.But what do these toy-based modifications actually mean to students? Do toys in the classroomactually impact student learning? Our research presents examples of specific innovativecurricular modifications ranging from elementary school classrooms to higher educationclassrooms with one shared finding: toys can be used successfully as teaching tools in this newera of engineering education. We offer examples from all levels of instruction with assessmentinstruments, pedagogical rationales, and templates for integrating “toys as tools” into existingengineering courses

Here one would like to stress the fact that the degree of processingspeed, accuracy and retention that an individual is able to accomplish when encounteringinformation depends upon to what extent the medium in which information presented matchesthe student’s learning style. One should also focus on a well-established fact that studentlearning is actually an interactive process that takes place in educational environment establishedspecifically to promote and enhance knowledge in a discovery atmosphere. Furthermore,researchers are of the opinion that educators must be able to successfully address the needs of theindividual by relating their own teaching style to the learning style of the

that undergraduate women, who may still be in the early stagesof developing their technical skills, value skill-building opportunities while graduate studentsmay already possess foundational technical skills. Academic programs were not highly rated forany group, however, undergraduates (M=3.27) indicated significantly more interest than graduatewomen (M=2.78). This result (t(370) = -3.16, p = 0.00173, Cohen’s d = 0.379) is likelyexplained by engineering graduate students’ focus on research instead of coursework. Graduatewomen (M=3.74) had a small but significantly greater interest in participating in Workshops thanundergraduates (M=3.48), t(370) = 2.11, p = 0.0355, Cohen’s d = 0.237.Figure 3.

It requires more than programming using a computer but also thinking at multiplelevels of abstraction. Advances in computation allow researchers and engineers across alldisciplines to envision new problem-solving strategies and to test new solutions in both thevirtual and real world2. In the past decade, computation has made possible profound leaps ofinnovation and imagination as it facilitates our efforts to predict problems and develop strategiesto solve the problems before they appear, and advances our understanding of natural phenomenasurrounding us. These advances drive the need for educated individuals who can bring the powerof computing to
