Students in the control condition still did. This work is supported by NSF grant 1540627.IntroductionThe demand for engineers in the market is increasing as technology continues to increase incomplexity. However, college students in engineering fields often experience decreases inmotivation due to loss of interest and reduced competence beliefs [1, 2], which leads to thereduced retention in an engineering major and career [3].Motivation is an important component in predicting a variety of academic outcomes such asperformance

Society for Engineering Education, 2020Introduction The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [24] Technology Principle states that“[t]echnology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics thatis taught and enhances student learning’’ (p. 24). Indeed, prior research suggests that integratingappropriate forms of technology into mathematics classrooms supports students’ learningexperiences [9, 11, 24], enhances student attitudes towards the subject of mathematics [2, 9] andbrings real-world problems into the classroom for students to explore and solve [18, 29]. This canbe done by creating an environment that promotes understanding, rather than memorization,through visualizations [5, 24], automated
