An Evaluation of Synesthetic Learning Pedagogy for Engineering Education

Abstract

This study explores how aural stimuli affect engineering education. It looks at their impact on learning, comprehension, and memory retention. The study focuses on two sets of engineering students: 30 studying enzymes and 60 studying wastewater treatment. It tests the impact of three auditory frequencies: 20 Hz, 40 Hz, and no music. The study uses a controlled experiment. It tests academic performance on the same day, and the third and seventh days after exposure. The results show that some frequencies, especially 40 Hz, boost cognitive function. They improve understanding and long-term memory. This study shows that auditory stimuli can improve traditional teaching. They do this by integrating multisensory learning techniques. It offers new ways to boost engineering education.
