Engineering Education, 2025 Development of Engineering Component Curiosity Challenges (ECCCs)AbstractEngineers have to adapt to rapidly changing technology throughout their careers, and this isespecially the case for selecting engineering components which often evolve quickly. This paperdescribes the design and evaluation of Engineering Component Curiosity Challenges (ECCCs), asuite of self‑directed laboratory modules intended to cultivate intrinsic motivation for lifelonglearning among senior‑level mechanical‑engineering students. Each module juxtaposes twofunctionally similar components—e.g., a spring‑powered versus a flywheel‑powered toy car; DCversus stepper motors—and requires students first to articulate hypotheses regarding

For example, as Deniz et al. [18] noted, usingdigital twins allows students to interact with lab-based experiments remotely, providing an experience thatclosely mirrors in-person learning. Johra et al. [19] explored how digital twins of building physicsexperimental setups are used for effective e-learning, allowing students to simulate complex experimentsinvolving heat transfer, energy consumption, and airflow in buildings. This remote learning approachenhances students' engagement and understanding of complex systems, as they can actively interact withthe digital

Peer mentors have also been integrated into courses such as with theLearning Assistant (Barrasso & Spilios, 2021) and Supplemental Instruction (Dawson et al.,2014) programs. It is also common for peer mentors to be involved in laboratory courses such aschemistry (Damkaci et al., 2017) and physics (Rehse et al., 2020). More recently, peer mentorsare
