Learning goals exhibit autonomous motivationcharacteristics because people are motivated by an internal value of the work [12]. Likewise, thebenefits of multiple goals are closely related to Integrated Regulation, a subcategory of controlledmotivation that shares characteristics of both control and autonomous motivation [12]. Another factor that affects the motivation of individuals is the complexity of the work andthe relatedness they feel with the work they participate in [16].

To apply the above principles effectively,students (especially the Gen-Z students) need to have a skill set in understanding the role of engineeringinnovations in a globalized society with an attitude of leadership to serve society [16], which was themotivation behind this class. Selected successful social innovations across the world were studiedthrough the lens of fundamental science and engineering along with the societal impact.

, many engineeringstudents struggle to connect these experiences to the work they will do after graduation [54].Rather than nurture adaptability, they may just reinforce or evaluate students' existing adaptivetendencies. More research to clarify how we define, measure, and understand adaptability isneeded before engineering educators can effectively teach it.The past two decades have seen the integration of several other “human skills” [4] [55] intoformal engineering curriculum (e.g., ethics, communication, and societal and global issues),partly in response to changes in accreditation standards [5].

At the institutional level it is understoodas a mechanism that contributes to reducing attrition rates and enhancing recruitment plans butthere is a scarcity of empirical research related to PhD programs to understand this phenomenon.Contemporarily, Di Pierro [15] conceptualized doctoral mentoring as part of an institution’spragmatic retention plan to counter economic losses, potential loss in Carnegie classification, andvoids in research. Thus, mentoring should not be thought of as a disjointed obscure process, butone that is integrated and benchmarked as part of an institution’s best practices particularly forunderrepresented populations.

In the junior and senior year, the student learnshow to apply these tools to solve complex problems. An example of a complex problem wouldbe the two design projects assigned in machine design. In these projects, several fundamentalmachine elements (components) are needed to form integrated subassemblies, and these areassembled into the final system. Principals of machine design and strength of material areimplored.

Additionally, in other groups reported alack of friction between the wheels and ground as an integral problem; which caused slippingresulting in loss of motion.
