adesign project. The number one design criteria for a design project is that the product must besafe[1]. To know whether a product or a component is safe or not, the first information thatmechanical engineers must obtain is its internal forces through engineering statics. Engineeringstatics is the first technical core course in a sophomore-level engineering curriculum. Teachingand learning engineering statics is a challenge because the concepts of moments, reaction forces,the behavior of different supports, the free-body diagrams, a group of coupling-equations forsolving unknown forces, trusses, frames, machines, etc. are abstract and difficult to beappreciated [2, 3]. Typically, the engineering statics course is treated as a gatekeeper for

This approach lacks consideration for student motivation, which is an importantelement of student engagement in the first year experience, leading to the development of a senseof belonging and persistence in the engineering program [1] - [3]. Self-determination theory(SDT) approaches motivation from the perspective of three psychological needs: autonomy,competence, and relatedness [4]. Competence is portrayed as feelings of mastery that allowindividuals to complete tasks, relatedness concerns our desire to feel connected to others inmeaningful ways, and autonomy refers to an individual's ability to control experiences in theirlife [5]. In educational contexts, autonomy support involves a cluster of

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
