Application of ARCS Model and Motivational Design in Engineering Subjects – A Case Study

Engineering Students are not concentrating on their studies and are prone to have backlogs. This might be because of many reasons. As a responsibility, faculty needs to motivate the students and make their subject interesting to student. This paper describes the implementation of ARCS model of Motivational design, given by John Keller. ARCS model is used to motivate the students and create the interest in them. The implementation of ARCS model in each and every lecture will increase the interest in the students. This study indicates that, the systems which are developed on basis of ARCS model raise, during the instruction develop a positive expectation for success and help, having a satisfaction in their work.
