AB  -  Self Motivated Learning for Professionalism in an Immersive                   Learning (iLRN) Model             Authors: Emily Kipatrick (Iron Range Engineering Student)                  Emmy Stage (Iron Range Engineering Student)                Ron Ulseth PE, Iron Range Engineering C0-directorIn the heart of Minnesota’s iron range, a new model for engineeringeducation has been funded and began delivery in January 2010. Iron RangeEngineering (IRE) is a two-year upper level engineering program throughMankato State University located in Virginia MN. Students attending IREexperience an immersive learning style (iLRN). iLRN is a model in whichstudents are surrounded by engineering in all aspects of their education.Students’ work closely with each other, faculty, and industry to practicedesign and gain technical and professional skills. This allows students topractice engineering by doing engineering. IRE’s style of learning is self-motivated learning where students design their own paths for gainingtechnical knowledge. Each student works with a faculty guide to develophis or her own methods for learning. By not having the external constraint oflecture style teaching, students become self-motivated learners.Being in a self-motivated learning atmosphere enables students to developstrong professional skills. Ways in which the IRE model promotesprofessionalism are:   • Practicing everyday professionalism that one would experience in the     work place. Including social aspects, 40-hour workweeks, business     attire, and every day ethics.   • Practicing teamwork on teams of multi-disciplined engineering     students. This allows students to gain different perspectives of a     shared focus   • Working along side peers and superiors. Students are members of     semester long project teams that are led by faculty mentors.   • Freedom within this program creates a personal accountability and     responsibly for how students act and how they conduct themselves.The authors will present evidence on how an iLRN model developsprofessionalism in an undergraduate program.Keywords Section:Immersive learning, self-directed learning, Professional Skills
