The understanding of these learning styles will help the lecturers in their design of the delivery of lecture to suit students’ learning styles to achieve deep learning among students. This research aims to look into the differences in learning styles among Mechanical Engineering students from different institutions and levels. In accordance to this, this paper will report the analyses of the types of learning styles among engineering students.
