preference curves and alternative approaches to problem solving is becoming arequirement for multi-disciplinary team processes and creative problem solving. The third, andperhaps more compelling reason, is the need for engineering educators to more adequatelyaddress increasingly diverse learning needs. Consider for example, the thinking preferencecurves using the Herrmann Brain Dominance Inventory (HBDI) for two students shown below. (a) HBDI Student A (b) HBDI Student B Figure 2.
