Cover Story: Engineering courses tend to have a low success rate, and students who take them often find them difficult and show little motivation toward them. In this context, it is essential to obtain information on the profile of students so that teaching can be adapted to their perceived needs and motivations. This research study was carried out to determine the learning profile of engineering project students through their motivational profile based on five grouping variables (gender, type of institute of origin, entrance studies, major, repeater). The instrument used was a consolidated motivational assessment questionnaire called MAPE-3. As a result, a student profile characterized by a mixed reflective–practical learning profile based on analytical and predominantly practical individuals was observed. View this paper
