Motivationalresearch is clear that the combination of increased classroom structure and classroom autonomy supportsignificantly contributes to student motivation and engagement (Jang et al., 2010; Reeve, et al., 2004;Soenens & Vansteenkiste, 2005), but future research is needed to determine if this relationship holds inengineering education contexts, and to what degree it improves the experiences of UREM’s. Intensity andquality of student engagement, particularly for UREM’s with prior experiences different from classmatesfrom dominant groups, may be shaped by cultural norms, peer influences, and contextual factors relatedto curriculum and the learning environment (in addition to instructional

techniques. Problem-based learning is an experiential process wherestudents learn by using their experiences and other knowledge to solve relevant problems.Problem-based learning was first coined by Donald Woods of McMaster University. He andothers developed a problem-focused approach for developing medical students. The techniquessimulated actual patient problems. [12] Hmelo-Silver states that problem-based learning is “wellsuited to helping students become active learners because it situates learning in real-worldproblems and makes students responsible for their learning.”[2] Chandrasekaran et al. describedesign-based learning (DBL) as “a type of problem or project-based learning.

perform a reality check on the software results. In most cases, the systems that engi-neers deal with have become complex and involve phenomena from multiple disciplinary do-mains. For example, digital logic, electric-circuit behavior, and heat transfer all play a role in de-signing computer chips. Does our engineering curriculum prepare our graduates to deal withsuch complexity?The authors suggest that the current approach to the engineering curriculum is out of step withthe current practice of engineering. A modification to the early engineering science courses, andpossibly the first-year science and mathematics courses, would serve to change the students’ ap-proach toward problem solving and better prepare them to apply what they learn to

Due to the nature of the businesses in the area, the sample containedpredominantly mechanical engineers, 53%, with electrical engineers accounting for an additional22%. The survey was structured to investigate the participation of the engineers in the threemodes of learning proposed by Houle5 : instruction, inquiry, and performance. Cervero et al.summarize these three modes of learning as follows: “Instruction is the process of disseminating established skills or knowledge in traditional formats such as formal courses or seminars.

By providing both financial support and social networks, the program helpsreduce external pressures, allowing students to focus on academic success.
