WhileHeller et al. 8 have helped to clarify the language, they have also shown that the path to achievinggreater student engagement in engineering requires faculty providing an active learningenvironment and demonstrating genuine enthusiasm for the topic, as well as studentsparticipating more fully in activities, and interacting with peers and faculty. As faculty, we hopethat our enthusiasm for teaching leads to student engagement and learning. However, themethods and context need to suit the student’s background.Patterson et al. 9 have proposed that “…in order to attract and retain students in engineeringcourses, the courses must be taught in a context that is familiar to students…” They haveproposed a template based on five
