The overall objectives of the research are to measure ifimprovements in student learning outcomes, student engagement, and course completionrates are possible if the structure in a basic materials engineering course is transformedfrom primarily deductive practice to an Information Communication Technology (ICT)enabled inductive teaching and learning environment. There are two major componentsof this research project. The first

Although the impact of theprocrastination on student learning is widely debated, it has been correlated with a lack ofexternal (or self) regulation, motivation, and performance anxiety. These contributors stand incontrast to the commonly asserted issue: lack of time. A lecture-centric course provides limitedobservations for evaluating actual student
