never tied the engineer’s family life back into the story. It is possible that the student felt the engineers’ backstory was a way of layering in context and indicates an opportunity for discussions about engineers’ identity.DiscussionWe found evidence to support assertions that engineering mindsets complicate and obstructefforts to foreground SJ in engineering [3], [4], [15], [18], [34]. Some students acknowledged theadded value of having context, and some even indicated that good professors provide context.But overall, many claimed context is unnecessary and perhaps even detrimental to mastering thetechnical fundamentals of engineering.

Determination Theory (SDT) posits that when three basic (evolved) psychological needs ofautonomy, competence, and relatedness are met above and beyond core physiological needs(food, safety, shelter), individuals become autonomously motivated and behave with willingessand choice rather than acting out of obligation or becoming demotivated altogether [25]. Unlikeother needs-based theories, empirical support for SDT in the workplace is well established [26].To meet needs for autonomy, individuals need to feel they are masters of their own destiny andthat what they do has been chosen freely rather than out of a sense of obligation, coercion, orother external factors. Those whose autonomy needs are satisfied also tend to feel that what theyare doing is

Of the exercises on homework assignments,five of the eight (items 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in Table 2) were directly related to civil engineering.Thus, these comments were most likely addressing the in-class exercises.

They seemed to have an implicit model for what creativity was (namely, aninternal cognitive act) and how it should be taught (using a traditional didactic approach), butthey felt they lacked the content of what should be conveyed within that model of creativityeducation. In other words, creativity was like statics or circuits, with a handful of orientingprinciples and problem-solving protocols that could be identified, conveyed discretely, practiced,mastered, cumulated, and ultimately integrated with other engineering analytic skills.

This highlights the need in engineering education for greater explanation ofhow and why engineering professionals find value in engaging in such reflective exercises. Inthis instance of the course, it suggests that more face to face scaffolding time may be required tohelp students develop their skills and abilities in this area. Providing such intervention in thefuture may help students see potential long-term professional benefits of mastering the method.AssessmentIn the domain of educational assessment, there is a balance to strike between
