to a recent study, students aretethered to digital technology [1]. Therefore, digital technology is now essential for them toconstruct and manage their lives. For this reason, this generation has different expectationsregarding how they learn and how they want to be taught.A hallmark of digital technology might be interactivity. Interactivity can be achieved throughdiverse experiences, including two-way or reciprocal communication [2-4], tailored content (i.e.,customization or personalization) [5-6], and synchronous interaction with a system [2].Interactivity is viewed as residing in the medium or technological feature itself. It suggests andpermits interaction [7-8]. Therefore, the very presence of interactive features can constitutediverse

IntroductionAlthough there are many standardized questionnaires used to assess students’ self-regulatorybehavior and motivation to learn, the MSLQ is one of the more widely used in general educationresearch [1, 2, 3]. The MSLQ is a self-report instrument specifically designed to assess students'motivational orientations and their use of different learning strategies. . By focusing on the rolesof both motivation and cognition during learning, the MSLQ reflects the research on self-regulated learning, which emphasizes the interface between motivation and cognition [4, 5].Prior research using the MSLQ has found relationships between constructs on its motivationalsubscales such as: intrinsic goals, extrinsic goals, task value, control of learning beliefs, self

Positive Learning Behaviors and Dispositions for First-Year Engineering StudentsIntroductionWe know that students who apply to competitive engineering colleges and universities excel ontraditional measures of cognitive ability, such as GPA and standardized test scores. Despite thesequalifications, however, many students leave engineering. Their reasons include excessivecoursework and diminished interest 1, poor teaching and advising2, and lack of confidence inmathematics and science skills3. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in academicperformance between departers and persisters who started in STEM majors 1. These findingssuggest that we must look beyond students’ academic ability to help students persist

Additionally, looking at eachvariable individually allows us to use the most data since records with missing data must bedeleted listwise. In other words, a student cannot be included in the regression if they aremissing any of the variables in that regression. The coefficient, β , can be used to calculate thelog of the odds of an event (eq. 1). Positive values indicate that the presence of one unit increaseof the variable increases the likelihood of the event. In this case, the event of interest isgraduation. log(odds of event)=β 0 + β x

AbstractThe ‘Changing Futures Project’ aimed to directly tackle an issue that has been long reportedin both academic and professional body spheres, that of student failure in engineering education[1,2] . It focused on the experiences of 96 Engineering & Applied Science students who wereclassified as ‘failing’ or ‘trailing’ in one or more modules. One of the unforeseen outcomes ofthe project was the high numbers of students who reported that they had been experiencingmental health problems at the time when they found themselves failing.

By having the professor be the main character in the classroom and students act asempty vessels waiting to be filled with information, students often lose interest in the matteraltogether and oftentimes withdraw from the course or fail.Due to the previously exposed deficiencies, this study aims to improve students’ learningexperience with the objective to develop basic abilities any professional engineer must have.These abilities include: (1) ability to understand the problem (take, mold, analyze), (2

engineering decreased by 15%. Nationally,less than 50% of the students who enrolled in engineering curriculum complete the program [1].At Colorado State University, we typically lose 40% of our electrical and computer engineeringstudents during the first two years of their undergraduate engineering program [2]. The causes for the declining attrition trend can be attributed to many factors from socialsupport systems available to students, to low self-efficacy due to poor academic performance, tolack of perceived value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required to gothrough the program, to the rigid ECE curriculum structure and the lecture-style learningenvironment that discourage active and inquiry-based learning [1,3,4,5

Personas help to communicate thegoals, values, needs, and actions of targeted users and to develop empathy and interest for usersduring early stage design. Scenarios are narrative descriptions (i.e., “stories”) of “typical andsignificant” user activities that help designers define specific product features that reflect a userfocus [2].
