, our research delves into the realm of student-teacher dynamicsthrough the lens of learning styles, as evaluated by the Silverman-Felder Index of Learning Styles(ILS). This study aims to contribute to the discourse within engineering education by examining thecorrelation between the alignment of student and instructor learning styles and its impact onstudent academic performance. The Silverman-Felder ILS, a well-established tool, delineateslearning styles across four dimensions: active/reflective, verbal/visual, sensing/intuitive, andsequential/global. We operationalize alignment as the proximity in four-dimensional space betweena student's ILS score and that of their instructor. Initial findings based on a cohort of 300 Cadets atthe United

American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Demystifying tensors: A friendly approach for students of all disciplinesAbstractThe concept of a “tensor” is an extremely important one in science and engineering. And yet, it isnotoriously one of the most difficult concepts for students to grasp. In fact, there is muchconfusion as to what tensors truly are and why they exist in the first place. In this paper, I pose thequestion: “How should tensors be introduced to science and engineering students for the firsttime, and at what point in their education?” I seek an answer to this question that is both formallyand pedagogically correct. I note that there are two primary approaches to tensors currently

This is due in part to a misunderstanding of the role of bothmentor and mentee. Furthermore, much of the available literature on mentoring in academiaaddresses the mentorship of graduate students, not new faculty colleagues. Therefore, thesefledgling professors are often neglected. This paper presents the results of interviews with new engineering faculty on theirexperience at the receiving end of mentoring.

This was accomplished using visually pleasing, intuitive, hands-on examples,experiments, demonstrations and analogies that were introduced in a step-by-step manner, whileconnecting the concept of stability to other related concepts. These were followed by moretraditional textbook-based math and physics explanations.We created a 21-minute YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glM-gVp4FUM)aimed at

Next level of AR meansadding interactivity, possible by the creation of "digital manipulatives" that can support hands-onlearning. There is a lot of work done finding ways to use AR to simulate the physical world. Forexample, the creation of SimSnails offers an interactive visualization of a 3D snails colony thatlives, breeds, and is eaten by predators.
