During the two-week final examination period, tutoring sessions are held daily. Thehope is that students seeking academic advice will also use the opportunity to engage thementors in conversations about other important topics related to their student experience (e.g. co-operative education, choosing a major, involvement in student clubs, etc.).

RQ2: What are students’ motivations on programming assignments in technical engineering courses, as they relate to task value, intrinsic goal orientation, and extrinsic goal orientation? RQ3: Do students see the value of programming skills for both computer-based simulations and data analysis?This paper further investigates students’ motivations towards CMSE
