On the other hand,some listed ‘only job offer’ more positively, often as a result of securing their idealposition early in their search process or receiving a full-time offer following a prior workexperience. How are students being supported during the job search and negotiationprocess? A recent report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that engineering andarchitecture jobs are projected to increase only 3% between 2014 and 2024, which is thelowest increase of any job sector.17 Therefore, faculty and advisers can play anincreasingly

asterisk).A brief survey of motivation literature provided guidance for developing the assessment plan ofstudent motivation (part 3). Several theories exist for describing factors contributing to studentmotivation [7]. Among some of the popular motivation theories in the engineering educationliterature are those of Self-Determination, Expectancy-Value, and Social-Cognitive theories ofstudent motivation. The Self-Determination Theory of motivation assumes that students aremotivated intrinsically by their feelings of competence, autonomy, and relatedness in theirlearning [8-9]. Stolk and Martello, for example, used this theory of motivation to assess theimpact of disciplinary integration in a project based engineering course [10]. The Expectancy

because “everything's very tied together and it's better to have a wide base of knowledge.”Within engineering contexts, Caleb recognized reflection as necessary to making sure projectsteps were documented and that students were reflecting on how they have grown through aproject because it is one of the things he has been asked to do in his classes. When asked abouthis fellow students’ reactions to professors prompting students to reflect, he said, “when it comesto non-engineering things, I’ve certainly witnessed if not experienced it myself, why are wedoing this.” Caleb suggested students tend to focus on the end product rather than the means andprocesses of a project.
