This investigation covers learning motivation among engineering students and the relationships between learning approaches and those motivating factors. A questionnaire-based research frame-work that addresses these motivating factors and their linkages with team learning and action-learning approaches was employed. The findings from the study provide insights into the development of leaching inventories for engineering students. To enable students to learn effectively, a supportive setting with pulling forces should be provided (i. e. rewards, achievement, clear goals) and a cooperative group-based learning environment should exist (i.e. group pressure). Based on this study, suggestions are offered regarding what can be developed to promote students' motivation. © 2009 TEMPUS Publications.
