study of the internal combustion engine. Whatwere the key elements in presenting this subject that caused a reasonably deep understanding to take root inthe mind of a 13 year old boy. Was it the verbal description of the characteristics of piston rings? Or the playby play description of the four cycles; intake, compression, power and exhaust? I am sure that these elementscontributed to my understanding but when I recall that lesson, the picture in my mind is not of the teachertalking or the overhead slides but rather of seeing an actual engine block with the crank rotating, the pistonmoving, etc. This is what defined the elements of the system in my mind. And yet memorizing the motion ofeach element was worth little without understanding the

A problem of traditional exams is that they cangenerate an excess of stress and anxiety on students, reducing their academicperformance [2]–[5]. It is common to have students complain after exams, explainingthat their performance was bad because their minds went blank [1]. However, forengineering students, most of the exams are traditional (individual, time-limited, closed-book). This is even the case in post-graduation exams such as the fundamentals ofengineering and the professional engineering exam [6].From early courses (e.g., math, chemistry, physics) in engineering programs

As the standards for each age vary, the one concept that isconsistent for all ages is the engineering design process. The classroom projects are executed inthis structured process, so that the students develop the habit of (1) identifying the problem/task;(2) outlining/designing the solution on paper; (3) constructing and testing the solution; (4)analyzing the results of the tests, and then discussing how to make improvements for futuredesigns.

IntroductionMuch research has been done to assess how the human mind operates, how it perceives and Page 10.153.1processes information. These individual learning differences are referred to as “learning styles” “Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2005, American Society for Engineering Education”(Butler, 1987). As a result, many learning models have been developed by which an individual’sstyle of learning can be assessed. Educators can begin
