Abstract

Summary: Limited empirical evidence has been found in current literature to support the use of mechatronics in first-year engineering and technology courses to motivate students. In response, this study lays a quantitative evidence base for the use of mechatronic projects in first-year courses and how they impact student motivation, albeit to different degrees for different students.
