Fredricks et al. preformed a literature review on the outcomes of effective engagement,finding evidence for improved achievement and lower dropout rates [1]. However, maintainingstudent engagement in the classroom has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Studentsare constantly being pulled to multi-media devices, which provide a level of entertainment that isdifficult to match in the classroom.

globalization is the internationalization ofhigher education. Governments are investing in international education and students’ mobility [1]leading to the increase of the international students’ population in U.S. universities. Among manychallenges faced by those students (related to their different cultures, languages and social habits),the most demanding are the settlement in the new environment, the adaptation of their informationprocesses and communication skills [2]. Often non-native English speakers may not feel fit orcapable to interact with their domestic counterparts in class activities.However, the implications of the internationalization of the campuses populations goes far beyondthe issues of adaptation and socialization; issues related to

Inherent to design workis creativity, implying that there is a significant degree of choice in how to perform the work.This flexibility can be difficult for first year students.

Specifically, active learning techniques (collaborative,cooperative, problem-based learning), when properly implemented, have been shown to improvelearning compared to traditional lecture [1]. A meta-analysis of 225 studies investigating activelearning in undergraduate STEM courses reported that student performance increased by 0.47SDs with active learning and the odds ratio for failing the course was 1.95 under traditionallecturing [2].
