Suchrubrics were used to assess student work on 12 problem sets, three midterm exams, and fiveproject milestones. Grading of problem sets and project milestones was completedpredominantly through the course learning management system, Blackboard LearnTM. Studentscould access their overall grade through Blackboard’s gradebook and their individual LOassessments and written feedback by drilling into the rubrics associated with assignments onBlackboard.

Themotivation for this study is that self-directed learning (SDL) ability is positioned as oneof the essential outcomes of engineering education.

Fixed mindset individuals believe that their intelligence is unchanging, whilepeople with a growth mindset believe that effort can grow and develop greater intelligence.Prior researchers have shown that individuals with a growth mindset respond to challenges withhigher levels of persistence, are more interested in improving upon past failures, and value effortmore than those of a fixed mindset.Guided by Mindset as a theoretical framework, the research team drafted an interview protocol.This
