The final four-items included a three-item scalefor subjective task value and a single-item on confidence.Based on our hypothesis that the student experience would relate positively to motivation for aDC, we used the experience-related items as independent

courses in thesenior year. Courses like manufacturing systems design and analysis (e.g., factory physics),discrete-event simulation (e.g., arrival times distribution), and stochastic operations research(e.g., stochastic inventory management) all need statistical and probability knowledge. Usually,intricate examples about systems that imitate real-life situations are not feasible within theclassroom environment. Moreover, random and separate in-class or homework problems fail toconnect the concepts from different courses because of the time and context separation.Therefore, traditional teaching methods are not sufficient in establishing this needed connectionbetween concepts as well as with practice (real-life applications) [5].To improve learning
