Understanding engineering course content and being able to apply thatknowledge in other contexts was the main priority for each student interviewed.Theme 4: Social Connections with Peers (supplement)Connie did not attribute engineering inspiration or motivation to family members, but rather toher peers. When asked about the most helpful resource for engineering students, she said, For me, the most helpful was the classmate[s] because seeing other people’s perspectives and also a lot of my classmates had internships already, and so, being able to talk to them like, hey, what is this like?

Stefanou et al.’s framework, student autonomycan be promoted at three different levels: organizational, procedural, and cognitive. These threelevels include varying degree of student choice: organizational autonomy takes into account theenvironment (e.g., due dates), procedural autonomy incorporates form (e.g., deliverable form),and cognitive autonomy involves content (e.g., designing projects). This range of possible SDLexperiences allows for a wide interpretation of the role and value of SDL and student autonomyby both students and faculty. Using methods of grounded theory, three research questions wereaddressed: (a) How do the pedagogical practices in the first-year mathematics, physics, andengineering classes fit into Stefanou et al.’s

It was made opento all engineering majors because a lot of engineering classes contain elements of FMHT, and thegrading policy adopted was a pass/fail (S/U) with course participation taking 50% of theweighting and the remaining 50% equally distributed between the class exercises and finalexamination.Given the context of this class, the researchers deemed it fit to ask questions in the form: Can thelearning in this class be deemed significant enough to prepare the students’ cognitively andaffectively for more learning?

This is apparent in the different models of PBL implementation throughout the world. Therefore, there is no one –size-fits-all approach to PBL that can simply beimplemented from one institution to another 20.

The evaluatorpredefines each function at different levels (e.g. high, medium and low) based on the type of theideas expected. The ideas falling in the corresponding level for each function receives a noveltyscore (e.g., High-10, Medium-5, Low-1). A novelty score for each idea can be calculated byassigning weights for each function and aggregating for an overall value. Novelty a posteriorican be calculated by counting the number of occurrences for the same idea for each function.The novelty score (S) for each function’s idea can be calculated using the formula: ܶ െ‫ܥ‬
