The first module was delivered at one institution,and the second module was delivered at two institutions. The instructors made generalobservations to assess the effectiveness of the modules with regard to comprehension and used aseries of pre and post surveys to assess the effect of the modules on student attitude towards soilmechanics and geotechnical engineering. The following conclusions are drawn from theinstructors’ reflections on the PBL delivery and from the results of the

Therefore, we made some modifications to the way we presented our expectations for each assignment. We did not decrease our expectations. We only changed the way we presented them so that students knew what we were looking for. As a result, student performance increased and their learning was reflected in their assignments.

A student perspective could be just being unlucky that day because the missing crucial 2points for passing is just of random noise origin and there would be no need to reflect on whatwent wrong in his/her exam preparation. However for learning assessment purpose, the criticalreason for failing is that the student did not understand the 1st question at all and he/she needs tostudy the topics asked in the 1st question. An unbalance scoring result could be interpreted asindicator of having less motivation in learning in the affective domain. However when theoutlier score is on the first question on topics covered at the beginning of a semester, a

. Lessons Learned In preparing the tutorial, I reflected on the way I taught engineering economic analysis and acknowledged some significant changes needed to be made. Specifically, I realized the FE exam has been an excuse for not changing the content in EngEcon and how I taught it. I also concluded the content of my co-authored textbooks has been limited, based on my belief few who teach undergraduate students are willing to deviate significantly from how the course was taught when they took it as undergraduate students. As a result of my reflections, my future teaching (and book revisions) will address explicitly the four take-away messages cited in the summary and conclusions section of the tutorial: 1. All real-options analyses incorporate

An alternative approach described in this paperis “strategic doing”. As in agile product development, the approach uses iterative cycles ofimplementation, learning and reflection, and improvement, with a focus on rapidexperimentation and gradual scaling up of solutions.

Here, it is again clear that altruistic tendencies are a majorcontributing factor to the female students’ desire to pursue engineering, in agreement withprevious literature. It also appears that students’ interests played a major role in their decision topursue engineering. This finding may reflect students’ desire to choose careers that arepersonally meaningful, which has also been demonstrated in literature as a relevant factor infemale students’ career decisions.14 Figure 4: Percentage of participants’ motivation to become
