This paper will review importantpotential contributions of cognitive engineering to several ‘hot topics’ in the study of engineeringeducation research methods.These contributions are of several different types. First, cognitive science and engineering hasits own established vernacular; for example, terms such as ‘mental model’ and ‘representation’have specific meanings. Second, a variety of methods and methodologies for research have beendeveloped, such as using system models to establish the meaning of data. Finally, ‘designguidance’ for forms of instruction and for educational technology can be found from cognitivescience and

is an important factor for improvingeducational performance. To increase a student’s success in engineering education, one mustunderstand that student’s individual learning style and provide instructional methods andenvironments accordinglyCognitive style historically has referred to a psychological dimension representing consistenciesin an individual’s manner of cognitive functioning, particularly with respect to acquiring andprocessing information. The development of cognitive style research is an interesting topic inthe history of psychology. At the present time, many would agree that research on cognitivestyles has reached an impasse. The paradox of the current situation is that interest in building acoherent theory of cognitive styles
