Abstract

The engagement of an undergraduate student with their university is an important factor in the quality of their learning experience. The central question of this paper is how to understand the apparent disengagement of a cohort of first year civil engineering students. A questionnaire was used to investigate the motivation and barriers to learning of the students. The results suggest that students may be highly motivated and may also severely restrict contact with their university. In conclusion, implications for the academic management of courses are considered.
