instructor? Animplementation intention is a clear strategy for achieving a goal, in the form of an “if-then”plan, that specifies the when, where and how a goal is to be reached1. For example, “If I havejust finished my 10AM circuits class, then I will go to the library and work on my calculushomework until my next class.” There is a rich body of literature in the field of psychologyshowing the success of implementation intentions, applied to things as diverse as exercise,impulse control, and overcoming addiction. However, prior to this study, very little work hasbeen done applying this practice to academics.Authors of motivational theories assert intentions play a causal role in behavior, including thetheory of reasoned action2 and the theory of

Ensuring that graduates continue to be well prepared forengineering technology careers within the constraints of reduced curricula requires betterlearning and more effective corresponding instruction. Lower than desired manufacturing andmechanical engineering technology retention rates juxtaposed against national calls forincreasing the number of engineers and other STEM professionals also point to a need forinstructional change.4.

Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology.

Theory (ELT). Experiential learning was introduced byJohn Dewey in 1938, and later refined by Kurt Lewin and David Kolb. Dewey describedlearning as a process of participating in an activity, reflecting on that experience and later usingthe conclusions when doing other activities.3 Lewin, a social psychologist, believed that thechallenge of modern education was how to implement “concrete experience” based on Dewey’sprocess.4 Kolb unified the process in 1984 as the “Experiential Learning Cycle”, which connectsthe four actions of learning.4 Kolb’s cycle depicts experience explained by reflection, reflectioncreating new concepts, and new concepts used to plan new experiences. He refers to the cycle asconcrete experience (CE), reflective observation
