It is hypothesized that there is disconnect betweenthe principles outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the actual classroomenvironment, thus creating a barrier to intrinsic motivation needed for student learning. Theproposed work is an empirical investigation to explore this disconnect in the context ofundergraduate engineering education. The primary tasks will be to (i) assess the Facultyknowledge of SDT; (ii) develop a measurement framework to assess the classroom environmentas it relates to SDT; and (iii) determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT

it has impacted students’ sense of belonging.1 IntroductionCollaborative learning is an evidence-based instructional practice that has been adopted by manyinstructors in STEM courses in higher education. Research indicates that engaging students incollaborative activities is associated with increased student persistence, and improves studentlearning outcomes and retention [1, 2]. Successful and productive collaborations are rarelyguaranteed, however they can be greatly improved by a careful design of the task [3] and the useof available technologies, to both promote collaborations among students and support theinstructors implementing these activities [4, 5, 6, 7]. However, most of the evidence-basedpractices for collaborative learning

Lab modules with open-ended design learning experience through using a lab-in-a-boxapproach were developed to allow students to solve lab problems with multiple approaches thatallow problem solving independently and collaboratively. Because this innovative lab designallows problem solving at various cognitive levels, it is better suited for concept exploration andcollaborative lab learning environments as opposed to the traditional lab works with a“cookbook” approach that tend to lead students to follow certain procedures for expectedsolutions with the absence of problem exploration stage.

instruments. A number of observations from this data led to refinementsin our project protocols. Some of these refinements have been reported in an ITiCSE panel [53]and research paper [54], as well as in a SIGCSE special session [55] and poster [56].One significant observation from the pilot study was that students rated every disposition as maxi-mally important for their career and course, except for adaptable and collaborative. This is likelybecause questions on dispositions elicited idealized responses from students. To avoid such re-sponses, the rating questions on the pre- and post-survey were changed to refer to behaviors insteadof dispositions. Students rated their application of dispositions in course assignments statisticallysignificantly

These methods were well-suited for teaching prospective scientists and engineersbecause they focus on cooperative sharing of ideas as well as healthy discussion and resolution ofproblematic issues [10, 11]. PBL-structured case studies promote higher-order learning skills, suchas application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. During case study-based learning modules,students were presented with a selected case to resolve the core issue by critically evaluating theinformation they had researched. They had opportunities to find the latest developments in a fieldand associate them with most recent social issues. This approach overcame
