motivation to learn.Therefore, additional research into the nature of undergraduate students should be done.Pembridge, et. al. conducted a study at Embry Riddle where he used a survey to determinestudents’ perceptions of various attributes that he roughly mapped to the assumptions inandragogy [14]. This work can be expanded to other institutions to determine whetherundergraduate students meet the assumptions of andragogy early in their education, warrantingthe implementation of andragogical principles. If not, researchers should determine the rate atwhich students may transition on the spectrum from ‘child’ to ‘adult’ learners. The second major area of research may include the impact of incorporating andragogicalprinciples in engineering

course is meaningful and useful to an audienceof engineering education researchers. We are curious to see if this process of mapping outalternate scales will find resonance in a broader communication community, one outside ourlocal context (Walther, Sochacka, & Kellam, 2013). Rather than seeking to generalize from thesefindings or make definitive policy changes based on how alternate educational scales are made orlived, we wish to highlight their existence and comment on their divergence or convergence ascompared to existing educational scales whose spatial and temporal features have gone largelyunexamined in engineering education in the context of curricular reform.FindingsDrawing on the five aspects of educational scale as defined by
