Challenges in Engineering Education: Addressing Student Motivation

Learning is a lifelong process. The saying 'You learn as long as you live' exists for a reason. Acquiring new and unfamiliar knowledge, preparing for exams, completing assignments, and writing research papers can be challenging and time-consuming. As educators, we always aim to give our best, simplifying complex concepts, providing clear visual aids, and even offering simulations where possible. Our main goal is to engage students effectively and maintain their attention throughout the learning journey. This is why the teaching materials provided by professors and the way they communicate to students are of great significance. In this paper, we will explore students' perspectives on teaching materials through a brief discussion, and we will draw conclusions to guide the future direction of the learning process.
