standard. The Standard that weare concerned with for this discussion is Standard 2 that addresses student learning anddevelopment. There are four sub-statements to this Standard dealing with a) interculturalunderstanding, b) language and communication, c) academic growth and d) student development.It is important to note here that the second sub-statement that deals with language is notapplicable to the WPI program being discussed. With the remaining 3, there are 24corresponding queries. Space does not permit a detailed presentation of each of the 24 queries and how the WPIprogram does or does not satisfy them. We present only a summary here. Copies of the completeset of standards and queries will be distributed at the presentation. Standard

of instruction that will better match the cohort of students’ learning style to initiate ouradaptive teaching process.Cohort Cognitive ProfileThe different conglomeration of the Felder-Silverman learning scales for the students in a cohortforms a specific cognitive profile. We propose to use the Felder-Soloman index of learning styles(ILS) survey to determine the dominant learning styles within a cohort of students. The Felder-Soloman index of learning styles survey consists of 44 multiple choice questions. The survey has11 forced-choice questions that address each scale. Each item has only two possible choices (a)and (b) that corresponds to either one of the two categories in a specific scale. The (b) responsesare subtracted from the (a
