Further, while the authors leveraged institutionaladvantages, the methods and content should be transferable to other types of institutions.IntroductionIn our experience, engineering is often viewed as a discipline for people who “don’t want to reador write much.” This has been particularly true of a sub-set of undergraduate students who seeengineering as a career path in which they can leverage their aptitude for math and science into astable, well-paying career. In this worldview, engineers are technical experts who are recipientsof problem definitions and apply scientific and mathematical principles to solve the problems ina technically elegant and efficient manner.

Overall, students reported the same general preference forthe visual learning, but were less active, more sensing, and less global in the retest as comparedwith the test. It seems expected that learning style preferences of engineering students mightchange to some degree throughout a college career, since as faculty we would expect studentexperiences and skills (e.g. problem solving, etc.) to develop with time (we hope!).
