may be other reasons impacting performance e.g. financial, from a pedagogicalperspective, the low performance of US students is due to the lack of interest in science,technology, engineering and math (STEM). One reason for this lack of interest is the unengaginglearning environments as reported in the High School Survey of Student Engagement [8]. Thissurvey which was administered to more than 42,000 high school students and covered 103 schoolsin 27 states, found that 66% of U.S. students were bored, citing uninteresting and irrelevantmaterials in the classroom. Bridgeland, Dilulio and Morrison [9] identified that the major cause(46%) of school drop-out was the uninteresting nature of the classroom. Student engagement istherefore an important

of aclass. A typical PRS usually includes a set of hardware, clickers, and software that receives theinputs from clickers and shows immediate results [7, 8]. Many case-based studies were alreadyconducted on their use and impact in classrooms and found that the learning outcomes vary basedon the applied disciplines for decades [5, 9-13]. Most research reported that students foundthemselves more engaged and more confident after adopting PRS in classroom [5, 9-11]. However,the limits of the clickers, such as the purchase and maintenance cost, the malfunction issues, andno or limit typing function [4, 9, 14], are dragging the hind legs and prevent the wildly implementof these PRS. As such, to take the advantage and avoid the drawbacks of PRS, an

While the SEI was initiallydeveloped for middle school and high school students, research has called for adaptations of thisinstrument to be applied to both postsecondary and course-level contexts (Appleton et al., 2006).ICAP

While this method hasbeen proven to be reasonably effective in passing on knowledge, studies have shown thatstudents are less likely to be fully engaged. Student activity during lectures is limited, and as aresult, the learning is passive due to factors such as instructor time constraints and notetaking.ALMs are defined as strategies that actively present engaging activities such as discussions inclass, case studies, and presentations, aiming to restructure the traditional passive teachingformat.

To combat this issue, many have argued for writing across the curriculumand taking a discipline-specific view of writing.A challenge, even for these approaches, is engaging students in authentic writing that isfoundational to solving contextual and socially just design problems [2]. Whereas the focus ofmuch core engineering coursework is focused on building technical, disciplinary knowledge,many have argued for approaches that also prepare students to approach engineering problemsmore holistically, considering the ethics and consequences of their work [3].
