Teaching Engineering for Students with Right Brain Dominance
Traditionally engineering education is heavily left brain dominant; as a result, right brain dominant students are discouraged from entering this field.However, this approach also causes some problems for the left brain dominant students, as the power of the right brain is not fully utilized.In this paper we propose a more balanced approach, which can make full use of the functionality of both hemispheres of the human brain.Therefore, engineering education can be more effective for all students, especially for those with right brain dominance.
