Dynamics is a fundamentalgateway course required for many engineering majors, which students find very challenging.Traditional face-to-face instructional approaches involving concept discussion and problem-solving sessions are often insufficient to promote student self-regulated learning and motivation,as well as comprehension and retention of the required course concepts, thereby

Historically, a strong technical background was the main requirement when hiringengineering graduates due to the fast development of technology [1]. More recently, there has beena growing demand for better-rounded graduating engineers with well-developed professional skills– often referred to as soft skills [2]. It is difficult to intentionally teach professional skills inengineering studies, as students and faculty typically prioritize the technical aspect of their degree[3]. This
