senior industrialengineering students at Penn State University were Active, Sensing, Visual, and Sequentiallearners. Over 77% of the students surveyed were active learners while 76% assessed wereidentified as being sensing learners. Over 80% of the students assessed were visual learnerswhile 70% were deemed as being sequential learners. As part of this study, Penn State’sindustrial engineering student learning styles were compared to learning styles of IndustrialEngineers and STEM Majors at other major universities or institutions.Comparison of Learning StylesAmong other studies, learning styles research has been performed in Science, Technology, andEngineering Majors in Denmark at Aalborg University, by Anette Kolmos and Jette EgulundHolgaard11
). Manyengineering educators are embracing alternative instructional strategies like PBSL in an attemptto respond to major shifts in the engineering profession and practice. Today’s world is a globalmarket and a place of rapid technological change. Newly graduated engineers often findthemselves working in teams with people very different from themselves, where they must Page 22.1192.2engage in more entrepreneurship and integrative thinking.Although PBSL opportunities are expanding at educational institutions nationwide, much of thefindings on their impacts are anecdotal and qualitative. Some faculty have begun to assess PBSLprograms and have found that PBSL

The projects usually have specificclients with various levels and types of disability. Students working on these projects need tofirst understand the user’s capabilities and then design solutions to allow the clients to gain alevel of physical exercise using appropriate technology. Each project is completed using a formaldesign process and all designs are built, tested and ultimately given to the user.The projects described in this paper have been undertaken at California Polytechnic StateUniversity, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly).

"In your own words, what is biomedicalengineering?” and their answers were qualitatively coded using a previously developedmethodology [5]. In short, the definitions were coded for phrases indicating: 1) Impact: BME asa way to improve medicine, health, or humanity; 2) Design: BME as the creation of new devices,tools, technologies, or processes; and/or 3) Interdisciplinarity: BME as the combination orcombined application of engineering and at least one life science or physical science. The undergraduate respondents also provided their short-term career plans (forimmediately following completion of their BME degree) and long-term career goals, while thefirst-year doctoral respondents provided their long-term career goals only.

learning,interactive technologies leverage the strengths of the digital native [24, 25]. Student engagementwith new technologies does not seems to be a detractor; recent surveys found a majority of currentengineering students, sometimes called digital natives, prefer interactive and/or electronictextbooks [26, 27]. However, many faculty authors of educational materials are not natives of thedigital age, so creation and adoption of interactive materials may be slow.Overall, fully interactive tools are becoming available for core chemical engineering courses, e.g.,material and energy balances zyBook [28]; however, the market size for chemical engineering ismuch smaller than foundational math or science courses (e.g., General Chemistry), so
