Abstract

The aim of this paper is to answer the question: What do first-year engineering students, in a PBL environment, identify as a good study-day and what can be said from a motivational theoretical perspective about this kind of day? The ultimate purpose of the paper is to inform students and teachers within engineering education (EE) about how to spur student motivation. Research into this field is very limited in an EE perspective. Empirically the study is based on 8 groups individual students' own written descriptions of what they have experienced as being a good study-day. The analyses identifies indicators of students' individual motivation and discuss what brings the individual students satisfaction and productivity. The study concludes that first year students are mainly motivated by mastering something new and supportive communities.
