The stages of the Prochaska model are brieflydescribed below. Note that although these stages are generally ordered, people are able to skip stages (e.g.,no relapse) or return to stages (e.g., recognize a need for additional preparation or action). 1. Precontemplation: People lack awareness that there is a problem, a need for change, or change occurring in their community. 2

Based on this feedback, Iconsidered course improvements to address this deficiency. I identified two possible causes forlearning difficulties: lack of connections to prior knowledge and lack of motivation for the topic.According to Ambrose, Bridges, DiPietro, Lovett, and Norman [1], sufficient and accurateconnections to prior knowledge can support learning. Therefore, helping students accuratelyidentify interactions with courses topics in everyday life should aid learning. Additionally, basedon the expectancy-value theory of achievement motivation, it follows that a student will likely beless motivated to learn

Whencreating an engineering drawing, it is imperative that only the necessary dimensional data beprovided. Providing more dimensional data than necessary or omitting data will cause confusionwhen manufacturing the component. Figure 1 illustrates
