The average scores on exam problems that required higherlevel thinking skills was 70-80% which is in the same range as the average scores onknowledge-based problems. The exam results provide some measure that higher level thinkingskills were improved.I. IntroductionThere are several innovative techniques at various stages of development to improve the level ofinstruction and the involvement of students in engineering education. Many of these techniquesare summarized in the excellent text entitled “Teaching Engineering” by Wankat and Oreovicz 1.Many of the latest experiments and results with these techniques in engineering can be found inthe

Dame has investigated the use of anaudience response system (ARS) in a variety of educational settings. These investigations havebeen conducted to study the effectiveness, strengths and weaknesses of the integration ofresponse technologies in various educational initiatives. Among the initiatives studied are use ofthe ARS: (i) in a large freshman engineering course, (ii) in a senior/graduate technical course(groundwater hydrology), (iii) as a means of rapidly surveying large groups of students to assesslearning objectives and learning outcomes, and (iv) within a high-school outreach initiativewhere it was anticipated that student interest and attention span would be highly variable. The goals of the assessment of the ARS included

Lastly, examining therole of NDCs in engineering education and their recognition by employers could further validatetheir importance in enhancing employability and meeting industry demands, ensuringeducational systems adapt effectively to workforce needs.AcknowledgmentThis work is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant # 1941524.

INTRODUCTION Attrition in engineering remains high, with approximately half of the engineering majorsleaving the field before graduating [1]. To address this problem, interventions targeting students’motivational beliefs have shown promise for increasing persistence and retention in STEM [2]. Acritical component of the motivation interventions is asking students to complete writing promptsbecause doing so allows the student to internalize the message [3]. For example, utility-valueinterventions have been shown to promote students’ interest and performance in the course [4,5]. Utility-value
