Some transfer students, for example, wrote thatprevious life experience had prepared them for engineering careers and that the Engineering+program was therefore not relevant or helpful for them. Similarly, some students who stronglyidentified with a specific career or discipline felt that the time spent exploring and buildingconnections to broad engineering careers was wasted for them. For example, “The engineering100 series I felt were a waste of my time. As an older
that completion of one phaseinforms and influences the next phase(s), and reverting back to a previous phase is possible [16].Viewing self-regulation in this fashion exposes a process of planning and adapting performancebased on self-generated behaviors and cognitions in an effort to reach self-set goals [14]. Clearyand Zimmerman [16] posited that self-regulated learners are generally those that proactivelyincorporate self-regulation processes (e.g., goal setting, self-evaluation), along with taskstrategies (e.g., time management, studying), and self-motivational expectations (e.g., intrinsicinterest). In problem-centered learning environments, self-regulation is especially important aslearners with limited self-regulative skills have

Some examples of this include: • “The extra credit did not seem like it would take too much time and it seemed simple.” • “It was a short assignment and I found it interesting so I did it”The degree to which this motivation is a concern for those designing extra credit will largelydepend on what the goals of those assignments are.
