Behavioral intentions are particularly useful when a goal is eithercomplex and needs to be broken into component steps to achieve or when a goal is simple butrequires self regulation. For instance, a student in a course with a major final project will bemore successful if they form intentions for each of the component steps, rather than simplyhaving a goal to “do well on the project” without more specific plans ​[9]​; a student in a coursewith a heavy reading load may need to form the intention to do a little reading every day, ratherthan trying to push through

These courses all identified the introductory course in softwareengineering as a prerequisite. Several of the past and present instructors of the introductorycourse participated in developing the test. A rubric for evaluating student performance wasdeveloped as well.

the reason behind low math placement and substandard ACT or SAT scores.Ideally, improving the preparation of students should be a joint project between universities andK-12 educators. However, this partnership can be complicated by the large number and diversityof the school districts from which a university attracts students. Therefore, the development ofprograms to meet the needs of all students interested in pursuing engineering, irrespective of thepreparation they were able to obtain in high school, is imperative if colleges are to meet theeducational needs of students and the educational goals of the community.

With regard to the second comment, it seems clear from the questionsabout student interests that assigning projects with an equal amount of each topic could makestudents less enthusiastic. A positive by-product of the OME was that students were able to getto know a little about one another’s interests on the basis of OME selections. We are not inclinedto compromise the opportunity to personalize as it tends to make it more interesting in general.Based on faculty evaluations of the presentations, finding ways for the students to be moreengaged in the presentation and avoid reading note cards should be a priority.

The client driven approach can create an environmentwhere the students value abilities beyond using the traditional prescribed models andalgorithms.2 While traditional design projects focus on the product being developed, MEAs focuson the process of problem solving and model development.
