摘要

In the Computer Aided Design (CAD) course at the United States Military Academy (West Point, NY), students learn two different design software packages, SolidWorks and MATLAB. In the past, faculty members who are responsible for teaching the course have observed a difference in performance by the students in course homework assignments and examinations between the two applications. In general, students performed higher on SolidWorks assignments. This poses the question: Does learning style preference affect the ability to learn different computer aided design tools? One hundred and eleven students enrolled in either the Spring 2012 (n = 61) or Fall 2013 (n = 50) semesters of Computer-Aided Design were asked to participate in this Institutional Review Board exempted study. Each student was asked to take Felder's and Soloman's "Index of Learning Styles" questionnaire. Of the four learning dimensions that are evaluated in the questionnaire, only the scores for two, Visual versus Verbal and Sequential versus Global, were examined in this study. These two dimensions seem to be most relevant to the research question. We expected that SolidWorks was more suited to learners who tend to be more visually and globally-oriented. Conversely, we expected MATLAB to be more suited for more verbally and sequentially-oriented students. This paper discusses the results of our study. The raw data in the Visual/Verbal domain appear to support our hypothesis to suggest that verbal learners perform better in MATLAB programming than in SolidWorks modeling, whereas visual learners have a less distinct difference in performance. A survey of students also indicates that a higher percentage of verbal learners prefer MATLAB compared to their visual counterparts.
