This practiceencourages the development of technical writing and presentation skills that are necessary forpreparing successful future engineers.

someinformation concerning preferences that indicated wide variations in class profiles are possiblefor general education classes and fourth year/graduate students. Data from across the worldsuggest that most students are multimodal, and that the least preferred modality for students isaural. Thus, the first profile (Table 1.) shows a surprisingly high preference for aural input thatwas not anticipated according to available VARK data. This preference for aural input wasmoderated by additional class profiles, but remained consistently high while the visualcomponent remained low.Based on these results, some of the earlier feedback from students can be explained in terms ofteaching and learning style mismatch.

A copy of the actual form canbe found in Appendix A. The questionnaire consisted of three main sections: the first sectionincluded two general questions about the students’ academic level (freshman, sophomore etc)and whether or not they normally do an extensive analysis of their examinations after they havebeen graded and handed back to them.Figure 1 shows a summary of students’ responses to this question.

The designs presented had the following ranges for key variablesfrom 6 to 15 plates, 1 to 4 ft2 per plate, 10 to 200 psi pressure drop, 0.3 to 10 wt percentdiatomaceous earth, and a pump size from 0.4 hP to 200 hP. The cycle times ranged from a 5minute operating time with a 15 minute downtime to a 35 minute operating time with a 45minute downtime. The wide variation in designs was primarily due to the difference in themodels generated. The form of models required to meet the objectives were not specified andthere was a large difference.

An inventory of the concepts was completed, which included explicit concepts thatwere explained and demonstrated as well as implicit concepts that were just performed.

Identity, particularlyengineering identity, has been shown to impact motivation, persistence, and students’perception of themselves as engineers [2], [3]. First-year experiences often mark criticalmoments of identity formation. Lakin found that students’ definitions of engineering -whether focused on altruism or technical rigor - were linked to whether they sawthemselves as “already doing engineering,” a belief strongly tied to professional identitydevelopment [2].Allie describes engineering learning as acquiring a discursive identity throughcommunity participation.
