Curriculum Example

Learning Styles & Information Presentation It’s important to create a curriculum page that engages all members of the team who visit, regardless of their engineering background or learning styles. As such, we must design the page to engage with several different learning styles and provide projects that encourage members to incorporate the new information with what they already know. This helps the material stick & is loads more engaging than simply reading walls of text/watching videos and applying algorithms. Give members lots of options when presenting information as well! Use multiple forms of media/engagement to interact with your audience to ensure that people of all cultures and backgrounds can become invested in the material. Seek to encourage individualism by allowing members to learn in different ways and find learning styles that go ‘with the grain’ of their though processes. Information Synthesis -> Content Retention Creating side-projects or problems that require critical thinking is an excellent way to get members engaged with new material. A good goal would be to provide 2-3 distinctly different problems or mini projects for members to engage with. Furthering Research & Encouraging Individual Study Provide links to extra resources – if members are interested, give them avenues to explore so that they may further their own learning. (Links to databases, repositories, articles, videos, etc.) Give ideas and examples for how members may utilize these resources to their fullest potential. Compartmentalization of learning styles Integrating different forms of learning allows members to naturally decide which forms of learning they wish to engage with, skimming over the other forms which they deem redundant. Their learning may be measured through applications of the information they should have learned (learning synthesis).
