Abstract

In this paper, the findings based on a graduate electrical engineering course titled 'Real-Time Control Systems Design' are analyzed and reported. This course is comprised of a lecture and laboratory component where the students are expected to transform their theoretical knowledge into a viable team laboratory design and present the results to the entire class. Administering the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI) to the class provides an extra analytical dimension. From the MBTI test data and course grades, it is concluded that the 'learning patterns' play a significant role in student performance, team success and overall laboratory experience. Based on the combined results, a number of recommendations are brought forth for improving curriculum design and student assessment at the graduate level. © 2005 TEMPUS Publications.
