isensuring that the task would still be a learning experience for the design team.Design ProcessThe design process is where the design learning facilitator provides the most guidance to theteam. Even though within the curriculum students are taught a design process (first E4 and thenemphasized throughout their other courses), students still deviated from an organized process. Asa coach, the faculty advisor guides the team towards the process they have learned. As oneprofessor says: “So they get to try [the design process] out early on, and then what we do as advisors in clinic is remind them about the process. Because I think a lot of times when they are given a real world project in clinic, the inclination is just to run out

AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing

. Education of the next generation of graduates has the potential to greatlyimpact society if their technical expertise are combined with personal and professional attributes tomake them more socially-engaged and effective as leaders. Leveraging a project-organised curriculumas opposed to a more traditional approach has proven to be successful in cultivating these personaland professional attributes alongside technical development. But transforming a curriculum is a slowand arduous process. The curricula in the School of Engineering at the University of Pretoria arebased on the CDIO framework, but limited resources and large student cohorts make it difficult tofully leverage the benefits of project-based learning within the formal curriculum

The Integrated Teaching Learning Laboratory (ITLL) at theUniversity of Colorado Boulder is a pioneering example of such a space.
