. Plans for additional re-design of the model and further study are discussed.Introduction The current number of engineering students is not adequate for meeting the needs of theprojected workforce and research suggests that the profession is not attracting a diverse studentpopulation1. In the U.S., the dropout rate has been reported to be in the range of 40%2. Twoattributes characterize engineering majors: (1) they are disproportionately male, and (2) thosethat graduate are more than likely to have declared engineering as their major when theymatriculated to college (i.e. students are not likely to change their majors to engineering). Undergraduate engineering in the U.S. is in need of reform that addresses the retention ofa

Forexample, a module could be centered on building a toothpick bridge. At the beginning of theunit students could be given a set of design criteria for a bridge they must construct. The criteriacan include weight and size constraints, material constraints, how much load it must handle, orany number of other requirements. As students plan their solution, different bridge designs canbe introduced such as suspension bridges, truss bridges, or arch bridges. Case studies of thedesigns of famous bridges can be used.

Academic performance has been widely reported to correlate significantly and positively with thechoice and application of self-regulated learning strategies8,9. Because motivation and learning areinterconnected, researchers regularly seek better understanding of differential effects of various classroomvariables on students’ motivation to learn10.
