todevelop and employ innovative pedagogies to address the impediments to learning in an onlineenvironment. This proceeding describes the motivational impact on students from participatingin a semester-long asynchronous project to create a nature-inspired and entrepreneurially mindedpodcast in an online Engineering Technology course. The project's duration was intentionally anentire semester to encourage students to remain engaged in the overall course content. Thematicanalysis of student reflections indicates that participants were motivated in areas correspondingto Alderfer’s proposed categories of basic human needs: existence, relatedness, and growth. Theresults are presented and discussed concerning the motivational framework. Additionally

dyslexia, dysgraphia,dyspraxia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and challenges related to executivefunctioning are among the factors that can create substantial barriers for students. These barriersare particularly pronounced in students with average to above-average intelligence, where thereexists a stark contrast between their understanding of complex technical material and their abilityto articulate this knowledge through writing. These challenges often result in written assignmentsthat fail to truly represent the student's level of comprehension and analytical abilities, therebynot reflecting their true potential or depth of understanding. Recognizing and addressing thediverse needs of neurodiverse students is crucial in

At the end of the allottedtime, a random student was selected to present their group’s findings to the class as an informaldesign review. After the design review, students all returned to their original seats, where a quizwas delivered on the online learning management system (LMS). The quizzes were nottraditional knowledge-testing quizzes; they were reflection exercises. The students wereprompted to compare and contrast the methods used by the presenting group and their own.They were also prompted to reflect on how well their group functioned during the

limited avenues to reflect and make sense of what they are doing, especially in the initialyears of the degree [16]. Similarly, Pausigere argues that strong sequencing and pacing (i.e., astronger framing) can impede learning of primary math concepts for poorer and working classchildren [23]. Thus, the framing aspect of recontextualization has considerable effects on studentexperiences and success in academic settings.Thus, it is undeniable that Bernstein’s theory of the pedagogic device including the framing rulescan provide important insights into understanding students’ learning experiences. Hence, thisstudy uses this theoretical framework to understand how knowledge derived from differentdisciplines is recontextualized in an electrical

arealso largely unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the need to provide explanations and reasoning inproblem solving. Homework and classroom problems typically require students to calculatenumerical values and rarely ask students to connect their answers to conceptual understanding, orto reflect on their implications. Thus, being able to solve textbook problems may not necessarilyindicate deep learning of the subject matter.Senior high school students routinely confuse the concepts of quality and quantity of energy (Ben-Zvi [10]). “Concept inventories” have been widely used in gauging students’ conceptualunderstanding in engineering education. In thermodynamics, concept inventories that focused onthe properties and behavior of matter, work, heat

Project-based learning (PBL) is a part of a pedagogical practice thatinvolves a wide range of engineering requirements methods. However, this learning method hasnot been holistically implemented [2]. To help with this issue, ABET, in its most recent guidanceis pushing for more PBL which research has shown as key and most prevailing attribute amongsuccessful graduate engineers within the industry [1]. The prevalent method for teaching inengineering disciplines is the “Chalk and Talk” approach. The instructor will lecture and thestudent will be a passive learner, not a student centered method [1].
