Curiosity indirect assessment that uses Kashdan etal.’s [27] 5-Dimensional Curiosity Scale were developed by a previous team of OSU researchers[21].The Curiosity indirect assessment applies Kashdan et al.’s [27] Five-Dimensional Curiosity Scale(5DC) which has been validated and previously used within an engineering education context[27]. The five dimensions or constructs of Curiosity in this scale are Joyous Exploration (JE - theelements of curiosity that spark joy,) Deprivation Sensitivity (DS – curiosity that causes tension),Stress Tolerance (ST – curiosity that associated with the unknown), Social Curiosity (SC –curiosity with interpersonal interactions), and Thrill Seeking (TS – risky behaviors or situationsone partakes in due to curiosity with

pedagogical modelsuggests that students do not flourish intellectually in classes that simply require them to remember andrepeat information. Instead, students benefit most from moving through a cycle that advances them froma stage of merely acquiring information to more advanced stages in which they learn to analyzeinformation and ultimately to synthesize information and apply what they’ve learned in differentsituations. Bloom’s revised taxonomy, as implemented through Bransford et al.’s model and others, maybe utilized as an integral foundation of advancements in innovation content throughout curriculumdevelopment.Five Factor Model (Big Five Personality Dimensions). “Personality is that pattern of characteristicthoughts, feelings, and behaviors

Knowledge retention concernsEight students acknowledged that they were unsure if their LLM usage contributed to a lack ofknowledge retention. Throughout the interviews, students revealed that at times they interactedwith LLM solely with the intention of retrieving a solution to implement into their projectwithout genuinely learning the content. For example, one student

ground stations are RF ground stations and use either aparabolic dish antenna or a Yagi antenna [1]. Parabolic dish antennas are shaped as concaveshell, while Yagi antennas have small perpendicular rods that run along a long main rod. Thebenefits of parabolic dish antennas are that they are less complex, inexpensive, and highlydirectional [10]. The detriment of parabolic dish antennas is that their size depends heavily ongain and desired frequency [10]. The benefits of a Yagi antenna are that they are highlydirectional and relatively inexpensive [10]. The detriments are that they have low gains if small,and high gains if large, therefore, large bandwidth results in a larger design [10]. Parabolic dishantennas tend to be used in the S-band, while

However, most of the literature is focused on either mechanics orstructural engineering courses, with little or no references concerning the education of Mohr’scircle in geotechnical engineering courses. While the concept of Mohr’s circle is notfundamentally different in geotechnical applications when compared to structural or mechanicsapplications, it still presents challenges for many learners throughout their undergraduateeducation. These challenges include the differences in sign conventions for geotechnicalapplications, the continued complexity of the topic, and that the students have not mastered theconcept from the previous course(s).A phenomenographic analysis
] 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].

This began changing in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s when ahandful of large-scale studies indicated that student spend far less time on learning activities,such as reading or studying, than had been
