Not the least reward is thatresearch on engineering practice enables an engineering academic to discuss practical issueswith students with much greater confidence and credibility.Eventually, one could expect that persistent research will lead to real opportunities to improveengineering practice.Even though it is a significant challenge, particularly for undergraduate students, to enter thisfield of research, the degree of student interest in this research at my own university has beensurprising.

Consequently, on theone hand “performance becomes nerve-wracking and exhausting” and the learner may wonder“how anybody ever masters the skill” (p. 178). On the other hand, the learner is learning to dealwith the overload by developing a plan or choosing a perspective that helps him/her to focus on afew of the vast body of possible relevant elements and aspects, and as a result, “understanding anddecision making becomes easier” (p. 178

Among the various arguments for educational changefound in the literature, some question the quality of education76 and seek only a pedagogicalchange, i.e., a change in educational practice without a change in educational goals or structures.One example of this is incorporating student-centered pedagogies3 within regular classroompractices. On the other hand, the National Academy of Engineering’s report on “Educating theEngineer of 2020”77, puts forth a revision to broad educational goals in which the purpose ofeducating engineers is not just for students to master disciplinary knowledge but also to becomesocially aware, take up societal challenges, and be flexible and adaptive to

, foster motivation and psychological growth. These psychological needs areautonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy involves being and acting in harmony withone's integrated sense of self and values as well as feeling that one has ownership over one’sactions. In educational environments, autonomy is visible when learning environments offerlearners opportunities for choice, self-direction, and flexibility rather than imposing strict or rigiddirection and demands. Learners are thus motivated when they have choice in their academicpathways, courses, learning topics, classroom projects, etcetera based on their interests andaspirations. Competence involves mastering tasks and learning new skills and involves a sense ofaccomplishment derived from
