Type 2 learners typically enjoy lecturepresentation because it allows them to think abstractly and observe how others solveproblems and gather knowledge. Type 4 learners, on the other hand, welcome theopportunity to test new knowledge in real world applications and experiment with it innew ways. Instructors also have learning preferences, and they tend to teach using toolswith which they are familiar and that are suited to their own learning personality. Although the general population is divided relatively equally amongst the fourlearning personalities, this does not seem to be the case in particular fields of study.Harb, Hurt, and

Phases 1 and 2 of the project asked students tocalculate/estimate the external loads acting on the input and output shafts of the gearbox. Inthese first two phases students were able to start experiencing a typical real-world situation inwhich, unlike textbook problems, the loads acting on the system were unknown and had to bedetermined. It required searching the internet, consulting textbooks, inspecting the Baja, andmaking assumptions.

Since much of the class materials are derived fromprofound advances in early-mid decades of the 20th century as well as availability ofcomprehensive textbooks (Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot; Truskey; Fournier), instructors haveoften continued to cover “classical” problems and methods in teaching transport phenomena. Theteaching format usually consists of thorough analytical analysis and application of mathematicsto gain insight into physical phenomena. This format struggles to engage students and does notreflect the reliance of modern computer simulation on specific, real-world biomedical transportproblems.
