. Competence can be related to having a desireto master certain skills, and can promote intrinsic motivation when accompanied by a sense ofautonomy. Competence is also the belief in one’s self-efficacy to meet thechallenges. Relatedness can be thought of as a sense of purpose of pursuing certain actions orbeing connected to others in a social framework. Intrinsic motivation has been linked to variouseducational outcomes across the age span from elementary school to college students [27]. Theresearch findings suggest that intrinsically motivated students are more likely to stay in school[28] , and achieve positive academic performance as measured by standardized achievement testsand by teachers’ ratings [24,25,26,27,28,29,30].Key Features of the

. In some cases, students might review portions of a video several times before class. Other students might use the videos to refresh difficult ideas when preparing for a test. • In-class sessions allow the instructor to more accurately gauge student learning. In a traditional lecture, even with active learning elements, the instructor is in control. Having students work on assignment in-class increases student/teacher interaction and it is easier to understand which concepts students struggle with, and also which topics they mastering easily. The time devoted to these topics can be changed as needed. It is also possible to identify individual students who are struggling and work more closely with

The concept of a “learningprogression” is described as an “empirically-grounded hypothesis of successively moresophisticated ways of thinking about a fundamental disciplinary idea and practice” [8, 9] as away to guide instructions and learning goals. These hypotheses describe pathways students arelikely to follow to master core concepts [9].With respect to the engineering design process,understanding students’ learning progressions can enhance our understanding of how we mightapproach teaching the design process to 2nd graders, and how this might differ from

This course exposes upper division undergraduate engineering technologystudents to various kinds of concrete structure and product failure, the mechanisms thatunderlie such failure, and the repair or restorative processes that would “fix” these problems.Such ill structured problems require diagnostic skills based on theoretical knowledge, similarto the medical students’ education challenges that gave rise to the PBL approach in the firstplace. Thus, in addition to mastering theoretical technical content knowledge, it is importantfor students to develop problem solving skills. The importance of problem solving skills forfuture engineers and technologists (engineers hereafter) can hardly be overstated

Students had more difficulty than we anticipated in determining the internal reactionsas a function of height along the pole. Only 2/10 groups were able to provide credible graphsand equations for all six internal reactions. There appear to be three primary reasons for this:  Students have not mastered the concept of making an arbitrary cut in a system and selecting an appropriate subsystem for the governing free body diagram. Specifically in this case, students would make a cut at an intermediate point in the signpost, but then remained
