Visual/Spatial Intelligence: x the ability to perceive the visual-spatial world accurately and to perform transformations upon those perceptions, x sensitivity to color, line, shape, form, space, and the relationships that exist between these elements, and x the capacity to visualize, to graphically represent visual or spatial ideas, and to orient oneself in the spatial matrix.Visual intelligence can be seen in the works of artists, architects, engineers, hunters, and interiordecorators, among others.

Thefocus of the software is modeling, not process simulation as in Aspen or Chemcad. We describe thesoftwareÀs contribution to teaching modeling in a later section.Why build a model? Models are at the heart of problem solving in engineering and the sciences, as forcefully statedby Middleman [2] in the preface of his recent textbook. We need models to inform us about thecharacteristics or behavior of a process, information needed in making decisions about designs andoperations. For example, one has to decide on the turbine discharge

On the other hand, a commondenominator found in arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry is students’ struggle when solvingword problems and answering conceptual questions. Our numerical results evidence thenecessity of building problem-solving skills in our students during primary and secondaryeducation. Moreover, our analysis indicates that much effort in high school mathematics coursesis put into solving operational exercises that neglect the concepts and theory in whichmathematics is supported. Interestingly, the structure of MATH 101 revealed those topics thatneed improvement and the skills that

Tounderstand why this type of problems is inappropriate, it is imperative to appreciate whatactually goes on during taking an exam from the students' point of view.To successfully solve an engineering problem, students must have the knowledge of subjectmatter, know the necessary background material (usually math, physics, and other prerequisitecourse material), the good problem solving skills (including being systematic and managing thetime wisely), and the ability to perform under stress.8 It is this multifaceted requirement thatmakes a proper interpretation of an exam score very difficult for students and teachers alike.Suppose a student scored 17 points

These models will be comparedand contrasted in terms of their usefulness and application both inside and outside of theclassroom. A comparison will also be made between these learning style models and one well-known application that has been developed to assess psychological type.

new curricula integrated laboratory activities into class routines in order to emphasize the nature and processes of science [3]. Laboratory courses complement theory by providing hand-on experiences that allowstudents to further explore technical concepts. So as not to eliminate laboratory courses in orderto reduce cost, an alternative methodological approach was required. This study evaluated thecurrent process of teaching electronics within the laboratory and, without eliminating coursematerials, a unique approach was developed and trials ensued. The results indicate thatlaboratory learning was equal to and exceeded that of a traditional style laboratory offering. Inaddition, student laboratory report grades and
