Wankatindicated that from 1998 to 2002 only 5.2% of all published articles in the Journal ofEngineering Education used laboratory as a keyword [5]. Much of the concentration has beenplaced on teaching methods and curricula; therefore, interest in laboratory research has becomestagnate as a result. While the authors realize the importance of objectives and assessments to evaluate theeffectiveness of instructional laboratories [6], this paper is primarily concerned with the relativeadvantages and disadvantages of different laboratory methods that can be

Figure 1: The Six Main Categories of Bloom's TaxonomyLearning StylesWe all learn through a wide variety of different methods, including but not limited to reading,attending lectures, video, multimedia, laboratory experimentation, and participation in heateddiscussions. However for any given individual there are certain modes of learning and thinkingthat are more natural and effective than the other methods. Many educational researchers havestudied the different styles of learning and teaching that occur in our classrooms, and as a result,several different classification schemes have emerged[ 8 ]. These learning style models include theMeyer-Briggs
