.” ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Utilizing Active Learning to Replace Traditional Homework in Undergraduate Engineering MajorsAbstract:The internet and social media are growing significantly at a rapid pace, making it harder forinstructors to provide effective learning and authentic assessment of courses using only thetraditional textbook. The future of undergraduate engineering majors is in danger of extinction asthe creativity of students’ minds and the experience of hands-on projects are fading in theshadow of outdated textbooks and repetitive theoretical assignments. As hands-on laboratoriesimprove academic performance and increase student success, they need to be updated to servetoday’s world

student’s perspective, “Honestly, no, I had no idea what engineering was, I was just like, ‘Okay, math and science school; we got it,’ and then like somehow that just kind of became synonymous with engineer-, with that definition. They’re like, ‘Oh you can be an engineer,’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I guess so?’ And I only really got a feel for what I’d be doing [after I got] up here....I don’t know what it [engineering] is.” (p. 12, [12])This frame of mind is pervasive among students in their first year of a program. However, there is alsoevidence to suggest that students still do not understand the nature of engineering practice upongraduating from an engineering program, especially when their engineering design

as an individual agent [18], [21], [22]. Students exist in theworld of the classroom [18], [22], build emerging engineering identity [23], and bring their priorlives and understandings with them into the problem solving process. As each of these facetsfluctuates in a student’s mind, epistemic agency may appear to move between several sources.Something does not have to be an epistemic agent to be treated as if it were one. In the late1980s, Daniel Dennett described the intentional stance: when a person interprets an inanimateobject as having wants and beliefs [24]. Through the intentional stance, students can treatproblems as epistemic agents in the problem solving process. But why might they do this? In theculture of the classroom, students

' scores onthe Entrepreneurial Minded Learning Assessment (ESEMA) surveys underscore the potential ofthese pedagogical approaches to augment both theoretical understanding and practical skills.However, the challenges encountered, such as the need for iterative prototyping and adjustmentsto project requirements, highlight the complexities inherent in implementing innovative teachingmethods.The implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurial Mindset Learning(EML) in foundational mechanical engineering courses, specifically Statics and Dynamics, hasyielded promising results. Despite the challenges presented by the traditional emphasis ontheoretical knowledge, the integration of PBL and EML has provided students with practical
