Albert Bandura's framework underscoresthat self-efficacy beliefs evolve through the interpretation of information from four key sources,shaping one's perception of their capabilities [12]. These beliefs significantly impact motivationand behavior.Seeing value pertains to the perceived significance an individual gives to a specific goal, result,or action.

However, to make mechatronics education even closer to engineering reality, some interviewees proposed linking some of the applications closer to the real world and suggesting cooperating with the industry.It is also insightful to interpret the alumni course experiences through the literature onentrepreneurs. For example, the literature talks about entrepreneurs being hard workers and risk-takers; ME218 gives students challenging tasks requiring long work hours. Also, because thesetasks are seemingly beyond students’ applied knowledge, they are forced to assess how muchrisk they are willing to take and decide between a

The BOK is presented in the form of 15outcomes that prescribe the necessary breadth and depth of knowledge required for a practicingcivil engineer. The levels of competence for these outcomes were initially defined asrecognition, understanding, and ability, but have recently been revised to be defined using the sixlevels of Bloom’s Taxonomy3. The attainment of the BOK is expected to occur through a broadundergraduate education, specialized education at the masters level, and

Theresulting projects tended to be demonstrations, or somewhat limited in what the students couldcontrol. It did not appear that pedagogical literature was consulted, or that pedagogy wasconsidered as a major part of the design. One interesting point was the author’s belief that it wasthe industry partnerships that really made the projects successful.When labs are designed by students, the design requirements vary widely. Beyond the physicalspecifications that the labs must satisfy, there is often the requirement that the students create labhandouts, questions, or other materials to accompany the apparatus. What is not clear, however,is how much the students

However, in crystals the index depends on theorientation of vibration with respect to index axis. Certain plastics behave isotropicallywhen unstressed but become optically anisotropic when stressed such as the photoelasticmaterials. The change in the index of refraction is a function of the resulting strain,analogous to the resistance change in a strain gage.Optical EngineeringIn the second general physics course, engineering students learn the polarization of lightby reflection and Brewster’s law7.

This self-paced format seemed to be a good fit for studentsexploring standards, with one student saying: Personally, I really preferred this type of module for AM standards over the typical lectures. Not to say that technical standards and AM standards aren't important, but it would be difficult to fully learn and understand them by just sitting through lectures about them. I thought the reflections and case study were the best activities to have gone through in the modules.
