IntroductionIn episode 1410 of the “Engines of Our Ingenuity,”1 John Lienhard states, “The Greek word tecnh (pronounced techne) describes art and skill in making things. Tecnh is the work of a sculptor or a stonemason, a composer, or a clock-maker. Ology is the study or the lore of something. Technology is the knowledge of making things.

] analyzed the “low-choice culture” of engineering curricula, particularly incontrast to other fields of study. In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].

As a clear example, considerhow many students would submit a design report documenting their work if it was not beinggraded and the only motivation to do so was to get experience writing and to get formativefeedback from the instructor to improve their writing skills.
