that industrycertification would increase willed effort more than the open-ended project. It was reasoned thatthe open-ended project was more likely to engage students’ creativity and autonomy, which hasbeen found to correlate with intrinsic motivation [9]. Conversely, it was expected that industrycertification would have led to greater increases in willed effort level, as this goal was less open-ended, but more directly tied to potential career advancement. This meant that it could be viewedmore readily as a means to an end, which is more associated with extrinsic motivation [9], [10].However, neither of these outcomes were supported by the results of this study. Thecertification’s effect of promoting interest may suggest that students had a

serviceability throughout the lifecycle of theproducts they are designing.This paper builds on our previous paper [5] where we described the development of an industrialsoftware infrastructure for the delivery of a large freshman level engineering graphics course. Inthis study, we report the pedagogical changes of the course, how the course has been architectedto enhance higher learning [6][7], the use of industry enterprise PLM system, and engagement ofindustry experts and partners to infuse skills that better prepare undergraduate engineeringstudents for their future internships and ultimately their career. Insights gained through ourresults and the lessons learned continue to drive the evolution of engineering technologyeducation in general, and our

courses, since it emulates what these studentswill need to be able to do in their future engineering careers [31]. Research has shown that theuse of PBL has increased students’ confidence in their ability to apply engineering graphics skills[19]. Additionally, students were able to expand their perceptions of the scope of work requiredto do engineering projects beyond the math and science usually taught in engineering courses[8], [11]. Class projects also create an opportunity to include aspects of the students’ identitiesthrough projects that incorporate inspiration from their cultures and socio-technical community-based challenges [16], [17], [18]. Incorporating culture and socio-technical challenges in projectshelps students to engage with

scale, then progressed to physical models using materials like cardboard and 3D-printed objects. This transition from 2D to 3D reinforced their understanding of spatialrelationships and design construction.By integrating inclusive design principles with hands-on prototyping and iterative improvement,the project provided valuable experience in user-centered design and problem-solving, equippingstudents with essential skills for engineering and design careers. 5. Study Findings and ImplicationsThis section presents findings from both quantitative and qualitative analyses, starting withsurvey results and performance outcomes in spatial visualization assignments, followed byinsights from student reflections and feedback. 5.1 Data-Driven
