. Page 24.395.4Index of Learning Styles (ILS)The Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (ILS) is one of the most popular learning styleinstruments4-5– especially in engineering education. It is based on Felder and Silverman‘smodel and assesses preferences on four bipolar dimensions: Active-Reflective, Sensing-Intuitive, Visual-Verbal, and Sequential-Global. Active learners prefer doing things,particularly in groups. Reflective learners work better alone, with time to think about the taskbefore doing it. Sensing learners like facts, data, and experimentation and work well withdetail. Intuitive learners prefer ideas and theories, particularly when they get to grasp andgenerate new ideas. Verbal learners like to hear information and engage in

The post survey asked severalquestions about their overall experience and also asked the students to share their reflections oneach session. They were encouraged to use their notes to help recall their reactions to theindividual sessions.We found that at the end of the week, students had a broader perception of computing and wereable to name fields within the discipline besides programming.

These reports identify a strategic need to extend technological competenciesbeyond tool operation by building fundamental knowledge and skills about the management ofattentional resources with respect to information technology use. But, does today’s technology-rich engineering education address this strategic need?The Technology ClassroomIn this discussion, the technology classroom is defined as formal higher education settings wheretechnology and engineering disciplines are taught, where technology is present in the classroomand is used primarily for

For this reason students should be invited to explore different ways ofconceiving knowledge including their own, and how it may be re- structured in order that theymay use it in specialist study. Related to this is the need to understand how we learn and how wedevelop the reflective capacity that is indicative of higher order thinking. One of the majoradvantages of incorporating the fine arts into liberal education is that it forces on the learner

thinking skills can be improved by engagingstudents in hands-on engineering and design activities intended to foster knowledge, skillsdevelopment, and problem solving [1]. Engineering activities foster the development ofindependent, reflective, and metacognitive thinking in K-12 students [6]. In particular,engineering thinking involves creativity and innovation. Creativity involves fluency (producing alarge number of ideas), flexibility (producing a variety of ideas that fit in different categories oran ability to see things from different perspectives), and novelty (producing ideas that are uniqueand original) [16, 17]. According to Shah and Vargas-Hernandez [18], “an engineering designmust not only be novel (unusual, unexpected) but it must also

. However, the curriculum at mosttraditional Western universities does not necessarily reflect these new dynamics.” The majorityof chemical engineering programs today do not leave room within their curriculum for studentsto be able to adequately explore the concept of chemical product design and how novel ideas canbecome the basis for new businesses. In fact, out of the 158 ABET accredited chemicalengineering programs in the US, only 25 offer chemical product design classes. This state ofaffairs presents a stark contrast with mechanical, industrial, and even bioengineering programs,where product design has been a routine part of the curriculum for decades.In response to this need, the chemical engineering program at the University of Pittsburgh

Concept questions, both asConcept Inventories and as ConcepTests, are available to help lower the barrier of using concept-based instruction and assessment. This instruction and these assessments can be used to promoteand evaluate student learning in real-time. The instructor can then adjust the pace of lecture inresponse to student understanding, spending more time on more difficult concepts.

Thus, the learningprocess should resemble the ordinary practices of the culture, which usually involvecollaboration, interaction, and social construction of knowledge.

Flipping the ClassroomIn a traditional lecture, students often try to capture what is being said at the instant the speakersays it. They cannot stop to reflect upon what is being said, and they may miss significant pointsbecause they are trying to transcribe the instructor’s words [5]. On the other hand, in an invertedclassroom, typical class-lecture time is replaced with laboratory and in-class activities. Outsideclass time, lectures are delivered over
