AB  -   Learning Strategy and Verbal-Visual Preferences for Mechanical Engineering StudentsThe learner characteristics of preferred learning strategy and verbal-visual preferences of 54mechanical engineering students at two Midwestern universities were studied in relation to thedemographics of gender, class in school, ethnicity, native country, and native language. Learningstrategy and verbal-visual preferences were measured by the ATLAS and the Verbal-VisualLearning Style Rating tests, respectively. Neither characteristic had been previously measuredfor mechanical engineering students. The overall learning strategy preference profile for themechanical engineering students was 32.7% Navigators, 32.7% Problem Solvers, and 34.7%Engagers. This profile was not statistically significantly different from the established values forthe general population. Because mechanical engineering students appear to be approximatelyequally divided among the three learning strategy preferences, a variety of instructionaltechniques addressing all three styles is recommended for use by instructors to match students’preferences. The overall verbal-visual preference profile was 5.6% more verbal, 46.3% no strongpreference, and 48.1% more visual. This profile is statistically significantly different than thegeneral population and suggests mechanical engineering instructors should design instructionalmaterials with a significant proportion of visual content. This paper will report on therelationships found between learner characteristics and demographics. It will also includerecommendations for instructional practice and for future research.
