An engagedstudent is more likely to have short-term goals such as an intention to participate in an internshipprogram or long-term goals such as intentions to pursue graduate studies or move into the technicalworkforce. Tutoring sessions, field trips, and research projects have been introduced to theundergraduate engineering student's curriculum ostensibly to increase engagement. Peerdiscussions in undergraduate courses have helped develop the personal and social skills to thrivein an engineering major.

When the project then became too constrained (all students found the sameanswer for using evaporative cooling to keep medicine at a specific temperature in the sameenvironmental conditions), the faculty identified a balance in which students had options, not justabout the solution, but about how they framed the problem (students made decisions
