COIL ImplementationCommon problems faced by COIL educators and proposed solutions. Despite its promise,implementing COIL programs in engineering education presents specific challenges,including: • Technological barriers: Disparities in digital infrastructure and access remain critical impediments to COIL implementation. Variability in internet bandwidth, availability of hardware, and familiarity with virtual collaboration tools can create inequities in participation. Instructors and students in regions with limited resources may face significant difficulties maintaining seamless communication and engagement during collaborative activities [18]. • Cultural misunderstandings: COIL bridges diverse educational, cultural

Engineering Education, 2025 Development of Engineering Component Curiosity Challenges (ECCCs)AbstractEngineers have to adapt to rapidly changing technology throughout their careers, and this isespecially the case for selecting engineering components which often evolve quickly. This paperdescribes the design and evaluation of Engineering Component Curiosity Challenges (ECCCs), asuite of self‑directed laboratory modules intended to cultivate intrinsic motivation for lifelonglearning among senior‑level mechanical‑engineering students. Each module juxtaposes twofunctionally similar components—e.g., a spring‑powered versus a flywheel‑powered toy car; DCversus stepper motors—and requires students first to articulate hypotheses regarding

It is also recognized that the fulfillment of beneficial public welfare goesbeyond the mechanics of problem solving because modern engineering problems are ill-defined,multifaceted and include factors beyond the scope of technology [3], [4], [6]. The optimalsolution for the public welfare may also lie beyond the requirements of a particular client orhighly influential governmental or economic body and/or at the expense of other stakeholders[3].A number of methods exist to characterize engineering identity, often through surveys orinterviews [2], [3], [4], [6], [8].
