simultaneous change in all thethree aspects of an education system. 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

Another study focusedon engineering students and mathematics found that student's success in math was correlated totheir affective motivations to learn [6]. Another study tested whether online pre-instructionallaboratory materials and self-paced e-learning helped students prepare for and master a topic [4].In this experiment, students were given twenty minutes to an hour and a half worth of pre-labactivities and self-paced e-learning modules [4]. In relationship to student's affective domain,students were found to feel more prepared for the lab but negatively towards the how long theycould take [4]. It also found

, 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

provide additional direction on theways in which the negative consequences of meritocratic ideals might be mitigated.Conclusion Sense of belonging is an important factor in students' overall college experience. For BLIstudents entering engineering programs, sense of belonging not only plays a role in persistence incollege overall but also in their ability to persist specifically within engineering. As BLI studentsencounter hurdles that challenge the ways in which they view themselves in the engineeringenvironment and how that aligns with engineering culture, it is vital that they are provided theresources and support that not only assist them with mastering material, but also provideopportunities for genuine community building, helping
of amotivation, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation,self-determination theory is built upon psychological necessities [18]. SDT states that a studenthas a psychological need for autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Autonomy can be definedas the self-regulation of behaviors [19]. From an educational perspective, an autonomous studentwillingly devotes time and energy to their studies, and an autonomous classroom would be one inwhich teachers support acknowledgment of feelings, student choices, and opportunities for self-direction [18].Competence, as described within STD, refers to the need of a student to feel that they areeffective and mastering material [20]. For educational practices, instructors can increasecompetence through

will be successful on that objective in a future problem. In Statics we require roughly fivecomplete and correct demonstrations of an objective to claim mastery. In Dynamics and DeformableSolids there are more mastery objectives, and we consider three complete and correct demonstrations toclaim mastery. Again, these levels can be set by the instructors based upon the nature and logistics of thecourse.Mastery-based learning is often associated with mastering a concept before going on to the next moreadvanced one (e.g., a student must succeed on ten successive problems of a certain type in order to moveon). That model would be difficult to implement in courses like these. In our model, mastery develops inparallel for all of the mastery
