Massachusetts Institute of Technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Encouraging a growth mindset in engineering studentsIntroduction and backgroundThe idea of “mindset” became widely known due to Dweck’s 2008 book [1]. A person’s mindsetguides a great deal of how they approach life – and especially how one approaches education.Dweck defines two different mindsets: a “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” [1]. Someonewith a fixed mindset believes that their intelligence is fixed and unchangeable. On the otherhand, someone with a growth mindset believes that their intelligence is changeable and can growas they learn more. Most people’s mindset lies along a continuum with these two mindsets

techniques to study these materialsare pioneer in the field of materials science and engineering and most of them are still in theresearch stage. For most students, realizing these advanced materials and technology is their firsttime. Therefore, it is a challenge to for students to understand the course material in depth. Inorder to overcome this challenge, experimental studies are introduced as part of the coursethrough an active learning platform. Overall, four labs are designed and conducted to investigatethe properties and performance of piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys. Theoutcome of the experimental studies is evaluated by written reports consisting of learningobjectives, experimental methods, results, and discussions. These lab
