Various teaching methodssuch as case studies, projects based learning, contexts based learning, computer based learning,etc, address the learning styles of different student populations [2], [8-11]. In this paper, weconcentrate on student populations who favor “learning by doing” [3], [6]. We will use the term“learning by doing” to refer to the approach of learning by solving many individual problems orthrough practice as opposed to studying the theory with which the problems are solved.The instructor of a

Additionally, theNational Council of Teachers of Mathematics names spatial skills as a necessary skill to develop,yet the curricula in K-12 education often does not explicitly teach these skills [2]. Currently, alarge Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is underway to do just that – explicitly teach spatialskills. As part of the RCT, we examined the implementation process from the teachers’ point-of-view.

In addition, teaching-oriented colleges oftenlack research laboratories, have a very limited number of graduate students, and offer little or nostartup funds to new faculty. Because of economic constraints, both administrators and facultyare being asked to do more with less support [6].

This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the

somethingdifferent about the engineering experience for female and male students.The gap in high school preparation in math and science between males and females is closing,but despite similar coursework, female students still lag significantly behind males inengineering. Margolis and Fisher (2002) speculate that the pre-college “tinkering” that is socommon amongst male pre-engineering students leads to a greater comfort level in collegecourses. Many female students do not have this “tinkering” experience, and develop a drop inself confidence in laboratory classes. According to McIlwee and Robinson (1992), by not sharingthe “culture of the tinkerer” the female students are placed at a disadvantage, and this furtherundermines their confidence in their
