| Abstract: | The ability to teach one’s self is a critical skill for workers in the 21st century because of the rapidity of change and
innovation. To educate students to meet this challenge, we need to re-envision curriculum with the goal of producing graduates
who have the ability to complete the transition from novice to expert after graduation and continue to deepen their expertise
throughout their careers. Using engineering education as a model of current efforts in curricular revision, we present a method
for curricular review based on learning types in order to design an undergraduate experience that is transformative and congruent
with a learner-centered approach.
