Abstract
Identifying the individual differences of students in terms of learning style preference would help them achieve better potential as they go along with their journey in finishing their respective degree programs in college. This study aimed to determine the learning style of the Marine Engineering students in a private Asian university in terms of environmental elements as to facilities, sound, light, temperature and design and to compare the learning styles of high and low performing students. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study. Results showed that High performing students significantly differ in going to the library and the use of Power Point and they need to be in the quiet place when learning while low performing students can learn the lessons even with the some kind of sounds in the surroundings. Both groups can highly work on lights which depend on what is being done and low performing prefer to always work in a low light compared to high performing students. High performing students can best learn new things in a more formal design of environment compared to low performing students.
