Tools usedfor assessment included: learning style and communication style surveys; incremental and finalperception surveys; review of weekly journal entries; peer reviews; review of communication-focused assignments (i.e., mid-program and final oral presentations, poster presentations, andvoicemail reports); and documentation of experimental procedures and results in a summaryreport. Several activities in the program involved the use of different learning styles such asgraphics-only and rapid, oral-only communication exercises. The learning

Active learningprovides a number of different strategies to accomplish this and these techniques have beenresearched and have been shown to be effective means of instruction2.Literature on active learning generally includes the following characteristics: • Students are involved in more than listening. • Less emphasis is placed on transmitting information and more on developing students’ skills. • Students are involved in higher-order thinking (analysis, synthesis, evaluation). • Students are engaged in activities (e.g. reading, discussing, writing). • Greater emphasis is placed on students’ exploration of their own attitudes and values3

). Research has shown that implementing DLI inother subjects, such as history, has led to students showing greater mastery of historical thinking,increased ability to transfer historical knowledge to other contexts, and improved readingcomprehension compared to peers that did not receive DLI [5], cf. [6], [7]. Similar studies havebeen conducted in science [8].Research on disciplinary literacy suggests that use of DLI in engineering may increase students’abilities to engage in engineering thinking as well as lessen literacy-based barriers that preventwomen and underrepresented students from pursuing STEM pathways. To accomplish this goal,a robust model of DLI in engineering must be developed and disseminated into K-16 classroompractice.BackgroundThis
