emerged [1].As technology advanced and grew, society’s problems and needs became more complex andspecialization areas became more specific, allowing more engineering disciplines to take shape.Examples of engineering disciplines taking shape more recently in the past few decades includeusability engineering [5], web engineering [6], and mechatronics [7]. In some cases, additionaland more specific disciplines are considered ‘branches’ or ‘sub-disciplines’ of the ‘original’disciplines that many consider to be the primary engineering disciplines: civil, mechanical,electrical, and chemical [8]. For example, in Dixit et al.’s [3] book describing the history ofmechanical engineering, he also explains production engineering, industrial engineering

approaches (adaptingitems from existing instruments) to the development of the two survey instruments: (1) a facultysurvey to identify engaging strategies, and (2) a student survey to evaluate these strategies in aself-reported Likert format along with open-ended questions. This paper primarily presents thedevelopment of the two surveys and the validation of the student engagement survey usingexploratory structured equation modeling technique. It only briefly presents students’ evaluationof the engagement strategies as this is not the primary focus of this paper.Background and Motivation:Distance learning has been a staple of educational systems around the world since the 1700’s [1],but has only become a major topic of research in recent decades

Most students again find teamwork and discussion helpful. Somecomment heated discussion within their team and difficulty reaching consensus. During week 3,there is an increase in motivation. Many say they enjoy the hands-on rapid prototyping activity.Week 4’s planning activity such as coming up with a materials list gets some students excited.After week 5’s proposal presentation, many students comment that they find sharing their ideasand seeing other students’ ideas interesting.

Many of the NCA factors aremalleable, so understanding these patterns is a crucial step towards introducing initiatives in theclassroom to help students reach their full potential. The
