Abstract
This paper provides empirical evidence of a positive impact in the engagement of engineering students enrolled in a mathematical course when exposed to a learning methodology of real time interactive presentations and anonymous collaboration using the online platform Mentimeter. The study involved 51 first – year engineering students enrolled in a Mathematics course at Fall 2021, divided in an experimental group and a control group. Data about their course engagement was collected following the Student Engagement Questionnaire (SEQ) and compared using Mood’s Median Test. Students in the experimental group were surveyed about their perception of the methodology with a 5 dimensions questionnaire. Results show that students felt more confident and supported by the teacher, appreciating anonymity and interaction within the proposed methodology. Moreover, results show a significant increase in key elements of engagement related to Teamwork, Teaching Methodologies, Teacher – Student Relationship, and Student – Student Relationship.
