According to Self Determination Theory (SDT) of motivation, threebasic needs should be satisfied for students to achieve intrinsic motivation: the need forautonomy, the need for competence and the need for relatedness. However, less attention hasbeen given to what influences those basic needs

Their respective assignments, which are shown in Appendix A of thispaper, were, for the most part, selected by the students themselves. As would be expected, the Airframe Team was mainly composed of mechanicalengineers who understood lift design, loading characteristics, and the importance of structuralstrength in picking an airfoil profile and design. The team also needed to work with the otherteams to integrate the components needed for the aerial photography mission and autonomousflight mission.

For example, the first author has added scaled-back elements of guided IBL toa preceding laboratory course to help the students to get comfortable with the process used in thecourse in this study: students identified the parameters controlled for a series of trials and thedata that needed to be collected to answer an authentic question, but the instructor provided thetesting procedure.We also found it helpful to design a class session during which students develop their methods,so that they have time to think through the authentic problem with their teams, but also for wholeclass discussions to ensure that everyone is

Faculty advisor also should be knowledgeable about courses, curriculum, policies, strategies, and an in-house procedure. They should also be aware of any changes to the program and relay that information to students as soon as possible.ConclusionEffective academic advising is crucial to the long term success of students in Engineering andEngineering Technology disciplines.

By leveraging tools from Lean Six-Sigma DMADV process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) the students were able togo from concept to prototype in seven weeks.Background and IntroductionThe inception of this project was with an Electrical Engineering Technology student whosupports himself as a disk jockey (D.J.) His music was stored and controlled by a laptop. Thishad several drawbacks. First, he had to stay at the table with the laptop to start or mix anymusic; he wanted to have options to control the music with a hand-held device, like a smartphone. Another concern was the vagaries of the PC operating system: if the computer needed tore-boot, or had other problems with software, the

For instance, Tarrant et al. [18] found that shifting the focus of acourse to a critical social issue (sustainability) did not in and of itself guarantee an increase insocial responsibility. However, offering sustainability-focused courses abroad did produce asignificant increase in attention to social responsibility

Some scholars have emphasized innovation as adesirable outcome of instruction or learning environments [20,21], others as the demonstration ofcertain abilities [22], and yet others as appropriate conceptualizations [23]. As researchers, wemight ask how goals directed towards these distinct ends vary in terms of outcomes.
