c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Unlocking Student Motivation: Development of an Engineering Motivation SurveyAbstract Student motivation is an important part of a student’s engagement in learning.Researchers and educators across broad educational contexts have identified and investigated avariety of specific motivation-related constructs related to learning. However, few studies havedeveloped and tested survey instruments for measuring motivation constructs within engineeringeducation in a valid and reliable way. This study describes the development and piloting of sucha survey, situated in expectancy-value theory, through numerous steps of validity and reliabilitytesting. The

experience. This institute was a part of our researchprogram on new elementary teacher development in engineering education 18. The overall goal ofthe CBE Institute was to prepare these new urban teachers to incorporate student-centeredengineering design experiences into their future elementary classrooms, and to do so in a waythat reinforced science learning opportunities. All engineering learning experiences during theinstitute followed the community-based engineering approach 19, which involves finding andsolving engineering problems in students’ neighborhoods, community centers, or schools. Afocus on the local community provides a common lens through which teachers and students cansee the cultural and linguistic diversity of urban environments

While considerable research has been devoted to promoting conceptualunderstanding, few studies have focused on the intentional ways that students can engage inlearning that can affect conceptual change. Intentional strategies include motivational factors andthe learning strategies students use. In an effort to understand

For instance,although engineering jobs are estimated to grow 11% in the coming years, high-school studentinterest is stagnant [7] and about one-third of first-time freshmen engineering majors leave thefield [8]. Therefore, finding successful strategies to increase the number of STEM graduates iscritical.

A review of the literature finds a goodbody of work on related subject matter in engineering, such as ethics, sustainability and “globalengineering”, but nothing that covers the breadth of STSE.In a study on teaching practices, it’s critical to examine the literature on teacher identity in thehigher education context. While “teacher identity” is a well-established area of research in the K-12 literature, research is more limited in higher education. One model of university instructoridentity “as teachers” was proposed by Robertson23. This particular model focuses on
