through experience, it is desirable that new college graduatesdisplay a reasonably high level of competency at engineering design. In fact, it is now arequirement of many new managers2. This is also reflected in the program accreditationrequirements of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)8 and theEngineering Council9, the two major international organizations that set accreditation criteriafor engineering programs.As a result, over the last twenty years, engineering departments have begun to introduceengineering design courses into their curriculum1,10. The main objective of these courses is tobridge the gap between theory and practice in order to allow students opportunities todevelop those skills that will be necessary

problems better than by listening to lectures. Because staticsand strength of materials deals with hypothetical loadings on diagrammatic representation ofstructural components, students have difficulty making the connection to design scenarios even ifthey are capable of solving assigned problems. By linking the studio with the structures class,students learn to design systems and components for a given set of parameters over which theyhave control. When the student owns the design, there is more interest in finding the solutionand there is a complete understanding of the problem. By designing the entire system, ratherthan a single component, the student understands the relationships between components.Second: “Reflection on learning develops

Step 3.3 is designedto get students to articulate their understandings of 3-D objects in terms of geometric shapecharacteristics. Step 5.3 asks students to contemplate their proposed design for the communitycenter by prompting a discussion of shape nets and reflection on students’ designs. Step 7.5requires students to determine, from a list of 3-D shapes, which will roll best, and provide ajustification.

The write-inresponses reflect this range of framing. Some of the conditions listed are not traditionallyconsidered forms of neurodivergence under a medical model (e.g., anxiety) but are moreclassically considered mental disorders or internalizing disorders (Andrews et al., 2008).

]. With the increase in research publications, the focus on impact indicators has broadened,with citation counts remaining a widely accepted measure. Yet, they are not direct measures ofquality [7]. Despite controversies around these metrics, they continue to be used in academicdecision making. An additional metric that is being used more for evaluating scholarship are downloadcounts [8, 9]. Using downloads reflects a broader view of research impact, considering the actualusage and dissemination of scholarly works. While there is a correlation between downloadmetrics and citations [10], there are situations where this is not the case. For example, papers withfewer citations might be extensively downloaded and used by practitioners

The literature in project management education supports this underlying personalbelief. “Preparing students for professional practice is enhanced by the use of ‘authentic’ tasksand assessments that reflect the practices and outputs encountered in the profession” [1]. Inorder to be authentic, it needs to be a real executable project.

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.
