A BasicNeeds Satisfaction Scale survey was given at the end of the semester, which measures thesatisfaction of three fundamental psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness and competence.An additional set of survey questions on student’s experience and perception of virtual and in-person learning was also given at the end of the semester. Survey results reveal that although nosignificant difference is observed between virtual and in-person students’ perceived basic needssatisfaction, in-person learners show slightly higher motivation compared to virtual learners, andstudents overwhelmingly prefer in-person over virtual learning.IntroductionProject-based first-year

This assignment was incorporated into the seminar as either a 20-hour or40-hour project depending upon how many modules of the course the senior year student wasotherwise engaged with. The Action Technologies® workflow model was used assuring the customer’sconditions of satisfaction would be met. This novel module allowed students to learn the four key stepsof: preparation, negotiation, performance and acceptance.

The benefits of this method have long-term impacts that play a crucialrole in an individual’s professional success. Most ABET-accredited higher-education programsfeature a design course intended to leverage experiential learning by pairing the culmination ofstudents’ knowledge from their undergraduate program with a simulated real-world industryenvironment [2], [3].
