Abstract

Student engagement is understood as the interaction that a student has with their learning environment and the resources in terms of time, effort and degree of involvement on the part of students, teachers and institutions which can support or hinder their learning (Bryson & Hand, 2007; Schuetz, 2008; Solomonides, 2013). Positive engagement is seen as essential for enhancing the student experience, supporting successful outcomes for the student and enhanced reputation for the institution (Bryson & Hand, 2007; Thomas, 2012).

[2] A survey of 285 engineering sophomores, [3] to gain a thorough knowledge of engineering students difficulties in English writing was undertaken, the structure and content of the English language teaching for Master's Degree and Ph.D. students at a technology university, which is based on developing skills required for special engineering and academic purposes was studied.…”
