research on adultlearners suggests that increased learning gains can be achieved when instruction is designed withstudents’ learning styles in mind [1]-[6]. In addition, several practitioners within the domain ofphysics, as well as engineering education, have noted the importance of teaching with learningstyles in mind [7]-[14]. Furthermore, attention to learning styles and learner diversity has beenshown to increase student interest and motivation to learn. The particular population of students that encompasses the focus of this paper is non-sciencemajors taking introductory physics at American University. Most students take this introductorycourse to satisfy the university’s General Education requirements for graduation. Because thebackgrounds

These Inclusive Standards (I-standards) were collaboratively developed by engineering faculty as theypiloted and engaged in professional learning communities focused on the implementation of Universal Design for Learning and UniversalDesign for Instruction guidelines. Designed with undergraduate STEM courses in mind, the I-Standards outline opportunities andchallenges associated with increasing access and inclusive practices with regard to neurodiversity among learners.

tofaculty member, it is also important to build connections with faculty who are having similarexperiences during a similar time frame. The need for connections and the potential lack ofpossibilities inside a home department suggest looking outside of engineering and sciencedepartments to find peers. Peer mentoring is accepted as useful for students, and the samebenefits that come from learning from others are valuable for new faculty. By seekinginterdisciplinary peers, the effects of "data" sparsity are reduced, especially since problems facedby first year teachers are rarely discipline-specific. New faculty benefit from multipleinformation channels about their institutions. In addition, discussions about teaching among aninterdisciplinary group

With this in mind, the author has developed a series of laboratoriesto foster understanding of control systems topics. In particular, labs 2 and 4 seek to enhanceunderstanding of the Bode and Root Locus plots respectively by requiring the students togenerate these plots from experimental data.

theirunderstanding of design itself: To focus the design process on the needs of the user and customer rather than on the capabilities of technology requires a change in mindset, one often resisted by engineers. We were surprised to find that the journals helped to change their minds. Journals actually gave the students a place to think through their objections to the principles of user-centered design, allowing them to convince themselves of the value of these principles. 8These practical studies of the ways in which students benefit from writing that takes placeduring the “thinking” phases of projects give credence to the concept of invention, whichhas been dismissed by some as a romanticized mystification. Even though it is not yetfully
