Taken together, our findings suggest that students can makediverse connections to engineering mechanics concepts and their personal lives in ways that cangenerate motivation and interest. While it is perhaps unsurprising that students were able to makeconnections between engineering in general and personal usefulness, it is noteworthy thatstudents made these connections with technical mechanics concepts in particular (e.g., impulsemomentum, work-energy, equilibrium). That is, prior motivational research has examined whystudents

It is unclear whyAsian students were more willing to complete the survey and participate in interviews thanstudents of other races/ethnicities.
