Recently, there have been a lot of emphases on STEM-relatedprograms across the nation and on the need for more capable, enthusiastic, and effective futureengineers. Over many years, it has been realized that basic freshman and sophomore courses inengineering play an important role on retention, preparation of students for upper-divisioncourses, and ultimately for a productive career in engineering.Most universities and colleges have some introductory course in engineering.

Specifically, young undergraduate mechanical engineeringstudents may be unable to visualize how their education applies to a future career and may lackthe experiences or intrinsic motivation to be an andragogical learner. Correspondingly, Melnykand Novoselich advocated a deliberate and steady increase in self-directed (andragogical)learning practices as students progress along their undergraduate engineering education pathway(Figure 1).

Students who arecurious go beyond what they need to know for the test, ask “Why?” and are better poised totransfer knowledge between courses and in their ongoing careers. This first of EM’s three C’s isalso recognized more broadly as a key attribute; for example, in “Curious” by Leslie, oncedemographic factors are accounted for, it is curiosity and conscientiousness that are correlatedwith student success [2].Closely linked to curiosity, motivation helps describe students’ intention to realize this curiosity.There are a number of lenses through which to view both curiosity and motivation.

Utility valueis the relevance of the task to current and future goals, such as career goals. Cost refers to thenegative aspects of performing a task. This could entail the degree of effort required, anxiety andfear, and the lost opportunities that result from performing that task [34].Utility value is an important factor contributing to student motivation, which is often missing inundergraduate laboratory experiments.
